Product Description

Product Description

The sixtieth birthday party of Silas Kane was marred by argument and dissension amongst his family. And then, the morning after the celebrations, Kane is found dead at the foot of a cliff. The theory that Silas accidentally lost his way in the fog is confirmed when the coroner returns a verdict of death by misadventure. But then, Kane's nephew and heir is murdered, and threats are made on the next in line to the fortune, throwing a new and sinister light on Silas Kane's death. All clues point to an elderly lady of eighty as the killer. But, as the redoubtable Superintendent Hannasyde delves further into the case he discovers that nothing is quite as it seems...

5.0 out of 5 stars a great mystery - spoiler warnng on the other review., 2 Mar 2007
This is another great Heyer mystery. Timothy Harte is particularly funny as the irrepressible 'helper' of poor long-suffering Sergeant Hemmingway.

But I wish reviewers wouldn't give half the plot away in their enthusiasm to say how great it was. This isn't a book club where we are all discussing what we thought about the novel. People will be reading these reviews in order to decide whether or not to read the novel for the first time - sorry to state the obvious here. The point of a mystery novel is to discover the surprises for yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars The party was a great success, until the host was murdered ., 30 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: They Found Him Dead (Paperback)
Silas Kane's 60th birthday went very well - apart from the fact that he fell over a cliff as he took a late-night walk after his party. Was it a tragic accident - or was young Timothy Kane right when he insisted that it was murder? Who wanted him dead? His business partner, or his partner's son, who both resented Silas' refusal to finance a deal with the Australian Mr Roberts? His heir, Clement, who might have been able to hold on to his wife, Rosemary, if he inherited Silas' money?

When Clement is found shot dead, it's definitely murder, and the field is wide open. Rosemary has sent her lover away, having chosen to stay with Silas and his money - but they were both in the grounds when the fatal shot was fired.

When it turns out that the money now passes to Jim, Silas' cousin, there is an attempt on his life - the inheritence is starting to look like a poisoned chalice.

When the Scotland Yard detectives arrive on the scene, Timothy "helps" enthusiastically, with the assistance of Mr Roberts, but is he putting his own life in danger?

In spite of Timothy's spirited attempts to help, the situation does get resolved - and, as you would expect from Georgette Heyer, there is a love interest.

If you haven't read any of Georgette Heyer's detective novels before, this isn't a bad one to start with - and if your only experience of her writing has been her Regency novels, don't be put off.
