An English Murder
Cyril Hare
(Author)
Description
The snow is thick, the phone line is down, and no one is getting in or out of Warbeck Hall. All is set for a lovely Christmas, with friends and family gathered round the fire, except as the bells chime midnight, a murder is committed. But who is responsible? The scorned young lover? The lord's passed-over cousin? The social climbing politician's wife? The Czech history professor? The obsequious butler? And perhaps the real question is: Can they survive long enough to find out?

About the Author
Reviews
"...incisive social commentary, vivid descriptions and nuanced interactions between characters... a book modern readers should not miss." -- CrimeReview
"This light-hearted classic from 1951 slips down as easily as eggnog on Christmas morning." -- Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express 'Murder and Mystery Books of the Year'
"Faber's welcome republication of vintage crime bestsellers continued with An English Murder by Cyril Hare, a wintry country house whodunit from 1951." -- Mark Lawson, Guardian 'Best Crime and Thrillers 2017'
"Six people around the table on Christmas Eve in a large country house include the chancellor of the exchequer, the leader of a fascist movement, a Jewish historian and assorted toffs. They start dying, one by one. Snow prevents detectives from coming to investigate. Written in 1951, Cyril Hare's novel tells a satisfying tale of politics and wealth, with an unexpected denouement." -- Times 'Books of the Year: Crime'
