Dying Horribly At Harding Hall (The Harding Hall Mysteries)

In Dying Horribly at Harding Hall, we meet a wealthy, aristocratic English family-generation after generation-of lecherous and greedy muttonheads. The story focuses on eleven mysterious deaths, with several extras along the way. At first it could be an Agatha Christie (or Murder, She Wrote) caper, complete with slightly bumbling but talented detectives, unraveling the puzzle as we guess along with them. There's dry and sly humor from the start, but it's only as the tapestry unfolds that we realize the truth-and that the truth is becoming more and more crazed. As the farce builds, the deaths-and the motives-become outrageous, and often hilarious. But they never quite become incredible. That's because these tales of stupidity, greed, lechery, and brutality, though they may stretch our credulity on occasion, remain sadly in line with human nature. Going back to the 1920s the heirs of Harding Hall have been dying bizarre and apparently accidental deaths. Our heroes, or more accurately antiheroes, brothers Lars and Loris Harding, have decided to call in a supposedly brilliant detective from India named Depak Chota. It's not that they are that deeply concerned about the deaths of their mostly despicable relatives. Rather, their interest has become a bit more urgent now that they are next in line to inherit Harding Hall.
