A Novel Way to Kill: A 1920s Mystery (Lord Edgington Investigates #7.5) [B1640]

2022 PB, 83-pages. A novella-length mystery from the 'Lord Edgington Investigates' series of whodunits set in the 1920s English countryside. This standalone story comes between the seventh and eighth novels chronologically, but can be read at any point in the series. A grand house in the country, three rival sisters, and a dead man in the garden... It sounds like a case for Lord Edgington. On a trip to meet a family of well-known authors in the English countryside, Lord Edgington of Cranley Hall (along with his well-meaning grandson and their very loyal golden retriever) is faced with the puzzling case of an elderly man thrown from a window, a life-long rivalry and a death foretold in mystery writer's novel. Will the famous sleuth be able to solve the mystery before it's time for tea?

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "With his signature tongue-in-cheek irony, Mr. Brown weaves a whodunit that's fun to follow and solve for yourself. Whether you fall on the intellectual side of Lord Edgington and put the pieces together yourself or more towards Christopher's end of the spectrum and need the final explanation to definitively solve the crime, it's good fun all around."; "Jolly fine yarn. This series of books can be read as one offs, or as part of the series equally easily and the main characters are quite easy to get to know."; "Great read. I really enjoyed this game of whodunit. This whole series is well-written, fun and a good challenge! I recommend it for anyone who loves a great mystery!"; "This continues to be a light, fun, cozy mystery series."
