They Found Him Dead by Georgette Heyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a quintessential Georgette Heyer mystery. It’s light and fluffy (or as light and fluffy as a book can be with dead bodies in it). The mystery itself is reasonably straightforward, but the strengths of Heyer mysteries are her characterizations and dialogue. The characters are well drawn, and the dialogue is witty and amusing. The book is a fun and light read, perfect for when you want to give your mind a break. Fans familiar with her mysteries will welcome back Inspector Hannasyde and Sergeant Hemingway as old and dear friends.
