Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An exScotland Yard inspector is pulled out of retirement to investigate a murder and a family's fiery legacy in this classic British mystery. Sir John Appleby has left Scotland Yard behind to retire to the country-but there's no escaping crime. In the middle of a hot summer night, he is woken up by a phone call. Inspector Hyland of the Sherris Magna police is in dire need of assistance after a local baronet has been murdered. Of course, it's far more complex than that. Authorities believe Sir Oliver Dromio was hit over the head with a revolver then burned in his study's fireplace. There's also the matter of Oliver's brothers. The late baronet was a triplet who lost his two brothers in a fire forty years ago. Was Oliver's murder an act of retribution? Appleby makes his way to Sherris Hall where he gets caught up in a family's melodrama in a household teeming with legend and tragedy. Sifting through family secrets in squabbles, Appleby must smoke out a killer before they strike again.Praise for Michael Innes and Inspector Appleby "The author's ingenuity and wit are seemingly endless." -The Daily Telegraph "Altogether a brilliant piece of work." -Birmingham Post "Innes is in a class by himself when it comes to detective fiction." -The Times Literary Supplement Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: Good. A Night of Errors (2001) by Michael Innes , published by House of Stratus (ISBN: 9781842327487 ), is the sort of crime novel that doesn?t just offer you a mystery ? it offers you a mystery with a raised eyebrow, a literary aside, and the faint sense that everyone involved is either too clever for their own good or about to be undone by someone who is. Michael Innes (the pen name of J. I. M. Stewart) is classic ?detective fiction for people who like their murders with footnotes.? His books have that wonderfully civilised British tone where things are appalling but manners must be maintained, and where the investigation proceeds not only through clues but through conversation, wit, and the steady unpicking of human absurdity. If you enjoy your crime fiction with a splash of academia and a dash of theatre, you?re in very safe hands ? except, of course, for the part where someone is dead. The title A Night of Errors has the cosy ring of a mistaken booking at a seaside hotel. It sounds like the sort of thing you?d laugh about later. But in Innes-land, errors have consequences, and the consequences tend to involve secrets, misdirection, and the sort of plot architecture that feels like an elegant clockwork toy until you realise it?s also sharp. What you get is that deliciously ironic blend: a story that is, at heart, a puzzle ? yet also a commentary on the people trying to solve it. Innes has a knack for making his characters feel like they?re playing roles in their own lives, often without noticing. There?s a hint of farce, a hint of menace, and a constant sense that the real mystery isn?t just ?who did it,? but ?why do humans keep doing things like this.? House of Stratus editions have that pleasing ?rediscovered classic? vibe: the sort of reprint that quietly rescues a book from the fog of out-of-print obscurity and hands it back to readers who like their Golden Age-ish mysteries a little sharper and more literate than the average country-house corpse. This copy is in Good condition as sold by Crappy Old Books , which is perfect for a Michael Innes novel: the kind of book you want to pick up on a rainy evening, read with a cup of tea, and then find yourself staying up later than planned because you?ve become personally invested in proving you?re smarter than the plot. (You may or may not win. Innes enjoys that.) Ideal for: fans of classic British detective fiction with brains and bite readers who like witty dialogue and elegant construction anyone who enjoys mysteries that feel slightly theatrical and slightly scholarly people who think a well-placed irony is almost as satisfying as a solved crime A murder mystery that behaves like a drawing-room comedy until it remembers it?s also a murder mystery. One night. Many errors. And you, happily complicit, turning the pages.
