E.X. Ferrars
Sleep of the Unjust
Virginia and Felix #7
Virginia Freer is less than thrilled about attending her friend’s daughter’s wedding, partly because she tends to be a trifle cranky and partly because her ex-husband will be there. But when another guest turns up dead, Virginia’s ex—the smug, petty-thieving, really-not-as-sexy-as-he-used-to-be Felix—is a good man to have on hand. Whatever his faults, Felix does have a knack for solving puzzles. And with the dead fellow having left not one, not two, but three suicide notes, all of them claiming different motives, this puzzle does look fiendish enough to ruin a honeymoon.
“There are few detective-story writers so consistently good” —Sunday Times
“An expert mixture of murder and deceit within an upper-class family near London...provides enough plot manipulation and suppleness of style to remind us how truly entertaining these murder-in-the-manse stories can be” —Buffalo News
