Death in the Stocks by Georgette Heyer
4.0

I love whatever Georgette Heyer wrote but I think this is not one of her best mysteries.
It seems to be more a comedy of manners than a mystery.
The focus is on the different characters and inspector Hannasyde just appears from time to time.
The pace is gentle, sometimes a bit slow, but there are a lot of funny bunters.
The cast of characters is quirky and interesting but not always likable.
It was interesting to read this book and I recommend it to fan of Georgette Heyer.
Many thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark and Netgalley for this ARC
