The Unfinished Clue
The Unfinished Clue | Georgette Heyer
4 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
A houseful of people he loathes is not Sir Arthur's worst problem? It should have been a lovely English country-house weekend. But the unfortunate guest-list is enough to exasperate a saint, and the host, Sir Arthur Billington-Smith, is an abusive wretch hated by everyone from his disinherited son to his wife's stoic would-be lover. When Sir Arthur is found stabbed to death, no one is particularly grieved?and no one has an alibi. The unhappy guests fi nd themselves under the scrutiny of Scotland Yard's cool-headed Inspector Harding, who has solved tough cases before?but this time, the talented young inspector discovers much more than he's bargained for. PRAISE FOR GEORGETTE HEYER: "Miss Heyer has the delightful talent of blending humor with mystery." Boston Evening Transcript "Heyer is an author to read?this means you!" New York Herald Tribune "Miss Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me... I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word 'Go.'" Dorothy L. Sayers

Another great G. Heyer mystery. I enjoy the writing and the characters of Heyer‘s novels. They‘re like a comfy chair.

Overall I did fairly well on this #20in4. Hit three of my four goals:

✔️Read for 8 hours (actual time: 11h 32m)
✔️Finish audio
✔️Finish my print book (see above quick review)
🔹Read 100 pages on next print book (alas I only got through about 15 pages ☹️)

I am 30 minutes away from a second audio finish, so I call it a success

Andrew65 Fantastic, well done and thanks for playing along 👏👏👏🙌🥳🥳🍾🥂😍 3y

This was my first Georgette Heyer, and it won‘t be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed this Agatha Christie-ish murder mystery, with all the trappings: a party at a country house where no-one likes the host and almost anyone could be a suspect. The dialogue was witty and clever, and the heroine was thoroughly likable. I have a few more Heyers on my shelf from a friend whose grandmother was weeding out her shelves...I‘ll definitely be reading those soon!

AvidReader25 I just read my first Heyer too! Can‘t wait to read more. 4y
BarbaraJean @AvidReader25 I‘ve heard such good things about her for years, and I‘m so glad I finally read her! I‘m looking forward to dipping into her Regency romances as well as more mysteries. 4y
AvidReader25 @BarbaraJean The one I read was one of the romances, The Grand Sophy. It was so fun! 4y

BarbaraJean @AvidReader25 A friend/former college professor of mine has highly recommended the romances. Will have to check out The Grand Sophy! 4y
AvidReader25 @BarbaraJean I am not a big fan of the romance genre in general, but right now audible is doing a free month of their audible escapes package. The good thing about it is that they have about a dozen Heyer books included! Totally worth it just to listen to some of those! I‘m just doing one free month. 4y
BarbaraJean @AvidReader25 That sounds awesome! I‘m also not a big romance fan, and since I already had a few of her mysteries on my shelf, I started there. But from what I‘ve gathered, her romances are more novel of manners + romance + comedy + historical, and I can get on board with that. 😁 (edited) 4y
AvidReader25 @BarbaraJean I‘ve only read the one, but Sophy was such a fun and fiery character that it made it very entertaining. I can‘t wait to try her mysteries! 4y
