Praise for Ten Lords A-Leaping:
She’s filleted the Foreign Office, clobbered the Cambridge colleges, jeered at the gentlemen’s clubs and now Ruth Dudley Edwards has employed both barrels of her satire to lampoon the Lords. The irreverent Irishwoman takes no prisoners in this everyday tale of fox-hunting folk on the receiving end of a killer as ruthless as a pack of hounds.
Baroness ‘Jack’ Troutbeck, introduced in the hysterically funny Matricide at St Martha’s, returns to rope in reluctant sleuth Robert Amiss to help the fox-hunting lobby defeat an anti-hunting Bill. But before the debate can even get under way, a sinister killer wipes out ten of the noble Lords in one fell swoop.
Sharply entertaining…Highly enjoyable satire.
Splendid fun and a complete delight to read…
She is unique
