Workaday mp3 UnabridgedDull and dreary Deidre takes a fall from a balcony at a family party. There is a rather protracted cricket match near the end of this book, similar to the overly long contest in one of Lord Wimsey's adventure* That aside, this second Hilary Tamar story is very enjoyable.
*forget which one for the moment - listened to too many of them in quick succession and now they have blurred into one.
To avoid taxes, the family agrees to change the trust and support heiress, ravishing raven-haired Camilla Galloway, except dreary Cousin Deirdre, who wants money, then dies. The young London barristers handling the trust, especially suspicious Julia, summon Oxford friend Prof Hilary Tamar. Accidents escalate.
