Une amusante comédie policière... ( )

This was fun! ( )

Fun metafiction - does for the ‘Agatha Christie meets Midsomer Murders’ style of country house detective fiction what Scream did for horror movies. That is to say, knowing genre self-reference. If you like Malcolm Pryce or Jasper Fforde, you should be okay with this. Gags work fine, and the plot makes sense as a proper murder mystery. Those who like to solve the crime ahead of the investigator(s) will probably see the resolution coming, but I like to let the story wash over me without trying to chase the characters to the denouement.
