An English Murder (1951)


Blurb:


My review:

The English murder of the classic variety is the murder of an elderly aristocrat in a snow-bound country house.  But for the murder to be even more English, the detective must be a foreigner: here, the Hungarian Jew historian, Dr. Bottwink—who knows more of England than the English do themselves.

The murder—and the reasons behind it—are particularly English, relying on an ingenious use of income tax, politics, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and an obscure piece of British history.
