So when the Marquess of Hedley finds one of his guests dead at a lavish house party, he knows just the man to call.<BR><BR>But when Harry is caught between his client's desire for discretion and his suspicion that murder may indeed have been committed, he enlists the help of Superintendent Kerridge of the Scotland Yard and Lady Rose, also a guest at Lord Hedley's.<BR><BR>Set in Britain and the Edwardian world of parties, servants, and scandal, M. C. Beaton's <I>Snobbery with Violence</I> is a delightful combination of murderous intrigue and high society.<BR></DIV>
