Corridors of Death
Milton soon learns from Amiss how Whitehall works: that it can be Machiavellian and potentially homicidal, that Sir Nicholas was obnoxious and widely loathed, that he had spent the weeks before his murder upsetting and antagonizing family and associates, and that his last monrning on earth had been spent gleefully observing the success of his plan to embarrass his minister and his department publicly. And they still need to discover who wielded the blund instrument.
This is the first of Ruth Dudley Edwards’ witty, iconoclastic but warm-hearted satires about the British Establishment.

Praise for Corridors of Death:
Edwards’s brilliant mix of farce and mystery… delivers a jolt with each development in the case and the final one is a thunderclap.
The plotting and writing are good, and–just as important–the unflattering look at the workings of the British bureaucracy is convincing.
