Title: Upside down murder story
Review: Penhallow is an odd story. Heyer spends about 200 pages introducing Penhallow and his browbeaten family, most of whom want to murder him, before he is finally murdered - and the reader gets to see the murder happen. The police are a side-plot at best.It's a creepy story and all of the main characters have nasty flaws that they let run their lives. I won't go through the list in case I give you a clue about the murder and the final twist in the end. They are compelling enough characters to reread the story but be prepared to do something cheerful afterwards.
