Death in the Stocks

Summary: Death In Stocks is Classic Heyer
Review: "Death in the Stocks" was a delightful read. I have long been a fan of Georgette Heyer's Regency Novels but only recently discovered her mysteries. The mysteries are light reading - much like Dorothy Sayers - but with the marvelous character developement and amusing dialogue charateristic of Heyer. I found myself laughing out loud whenever two of the main characters (brother and sister) had a chance to analyze the mystery or have any discussions exploring the various characters' possible motives.

I advise reading this title before reading "Behold, Here's Poison" since some characters appear in both stories.
