A Most Efficient Murder by Anthony Slayton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1925. The Earl of Unsworth, Edward Statham, is holding a party at his castle when proceedings are interrupted by the discovery of a body. When D.I. Wintle and his superior Colonel Rye arrive the Earl has made an arrangement that his secretary Mr Quayle will shadow the investigation. But who is the dead female and why was she in the castle grounds. Can Wintle and Quayle sift through all the lies they are told to find a motive, and the killer.
An entertaining, well-plotted and well-written historical mystery. With its likeable main characters. A good start to the series
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
