An English Murder by Cyril Hare
Set in the post-war English countryside, this classic mystery unfolds during a snowbound Christmas gathering at Warbeck Hall. As the guests, a mix of aristocrats and political figures, settle in for the holiday, a murder disrupts the festivities. With the house cut off from the outside world by a blizzard, the guests must rely on their wits and the keen observations of Dr. Bottwink, a visiting historian, to unravel the intricate web of motives and secrets that led to the crime. The story deftly combines elements of traditional whodunits with a sharp critique of class and political tensions in mid-20th century Britain.
