Not To Disturb by Muriel Spark

A darkly comic, tightly plotted tale set in an old country house where a small cast of residents and visitors become entangled in eccentric rivalries, secrets and a series of unsettling events that lead to violence and unexpected revelations. The novel uses wit and irony to expose the hypocrisies, petty vanities and moral blindness of its characters, turning a closed domestic world into a fable about mortality, fate and the corrosive effects of hidden resentments.
