Items related to Duck Season Death
A fresh twist on the classic country-house mystery that is also a brilliant sendup of the genre. When publisher Athol Sefton is shot at a remote hunting lodge, it turns out almost everyone, guests and staff, had good reason to murder him. Sefton's nephew Charles thinks he can solve the crime by applying the traditional 'rules of the game' he's picked up reviewing detective fiction. But to his annoyance, the killer won't play by those rules, and Charles finds he is the one under suspicion.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. June Wright wrote this lost gem in the mid-1950s, but consigned it to her bottom drawer after her publisher foolishly rejected it. Perhaps it was a little ahead of its time? Because while it's a tour de force of the classic country-house murder mystery, it's also a delightful romp, poking fun at the conventions of the genre. When someone takes advantage of a duck hunt to murder publisher Athol Sefton at a remote hunting inn, it soon turns out that virtually everyone, guests and staff alike, had a good reason for shooting him. Sefton's nephew Charles thinks he can solve the crime by applying the "rules of the game" he's absorbed from his years as a reviewer of detective fiction only the killer evidently isn't playing by those rules. Duck Season Death is a both a fiendishly clever whodunit and a marvellous entertainment. "A dark passage book"--Title page verso.
