“Now I know why Georgette Heyer's books still circulate so well in the library system. This was a classic country house who done it, complete with an atmospheric old mansion, quirky characters, and a quiet professional from Scotland Yard. What made it great was the plot where everyone could have done it and the dialogue, which sometimes had me laughing outloud. They Found Him Dead features the Kane family, gathered at Cliff House to celebrate Silas Kane's 60th birthday. The celebration turns to shock when Silas is found dead at the bottom of the cliff the next day, but surely it was an accident. Then another family member is struck down and it becomes clear that a murderer is in their midst. But who could it be and who might be next? If you've never read Heyer I suggest you give her a try. I listened to the audio narrated by Clifford Norgate. The narration added to the story as Norgate's interpretation was spot on with accents and timing. An older book on cassette, if you can find it, it's worth a listen.”
