Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

When Gregory Matthews, patriarch of the Poplars, is found dead one morning, imperious Aunt Harriet blames it on the roast duck he ate for supper. After all, she had warned him about his blood pressure. But a post-mortem determines that the cause of death is much more sinister. Murder. By poison.

Suspicion falls immediately amongst his bitter, quarrelsome family. Each has a motive; each, opportunity. It falls to Superintendent Hannasyde to sift through all the secrets and lies and discover just who killed Gregory Matthews, before the killer strikes again....

who is the hero?

Usually we are looking to find out who the villain is but in this case we don't know till the end who the hero is. Whoever said the story is humorous enjoys family squabbles. It's mostly family squabbles.

So read this for Miss Heyer's inventive characterization. There's mystery enough but the characters are the main story.
