A Most Efficient Murder by Anthony Slayton

With 230+ ratings and an average of 4.5 stars, A Most Efficient Murder, is another mystery set in the 1920s, but this tale takes place at a house party at Unsworth Castle in the English countryside. Described as a perfect read for those who are fans of Agatha Christie, readers are swept up in the frantic murder investigation in order to apprehend the murderer, and also save the reputation of the aristocratic home, and its owner, Lord Unsworth.

David V. raves in his five star Amazon review, “A very well-done mystery, with excellent characterizations, back stories, understanding of the English aristocracy, and a fascinating amateur sleuth and an equally interesting English Inspector who have a prior history, but are not entirely sure they are on the same side for much of the book. I would probably disagree with the review that compares it with P.G. Wodehouse. While pointing out some of the aristocracies foibles, I wouldn’t say it was in Wodehouse style, but there was definitely, as another review described it, some snarky humor, so it was right up my alley! Highly recommended for people who like 1920’s English mysteries and well-written characters and an author who knows how to plan wonderful and surprising plot twists. I look forward to reading the next Mr. Quayle mystery!”

Kelly W. couldn’t put this book down! She shares in her five star Amazon review, “…This book was one wild ride. When the whole murder plot was revealed I literally gasped out loud…because I was totally blindsided. The characters were each so well written by the end I had this picture of them in my head right down to how their voices sounded…There were no plot holes, no unanswered questions, and surprisingly the Unsworth Clan seemed to walk away from the whole affair a little stronger for it. I liked that part a lot that even though something really horrendous had taken place this very dysfunctional family had maybe finally found a place where they could trust one another and stop scheming. It wasn’t just a good ending it was a happy ending.”
