Product Description

From AudioFile

It's 1930's Britain, an era when butlers, valets and housekeepers are still part of upper-class society, when a local constable finds a man stabbed to death, his body pinned in antique stocks on the town green. It seems many people disliked Arnold Vereker, but finding the killer isn't a simple matter. Robbie MacNab reads this book, in the classic style of Christie and Allingham, with panache. MacNab's rendition of the characters' accents is great fun. From exaggerated culture to lazy carelessnessÐhe's right on. Listening to the accounts of the various people either trying to prove their innocence or, in some cases, propose their own possible guilt will keep you amused. The mystery is a puzzle to the very end. D.M.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death In Stocks is Classic Heyer, Dec 3 2002

By	"t-m-s" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death in the Stocks (Paperback)

"Death in the Stocks" was a delightful read. I have long been a fan of Georgette Heyer's Regency Novels but only recently discovered her mysteries. The mysteries are light reading - much like Dorothy Sayers - but with the marvelous character developement and amusing dialogue charateristic of Heyer. I found myself laughing out loud whenever two of the main characters (brother and sister) had a chance to analyze the mystery or have any discussions exploring the various characters' possible motives.

I advise reading this title before reading "Behold, Here's Poison" since some characters appear in both stories.
