A Story about the perils of blind faith and narcissism.

Lord Arthur Savile is led to believe murder is a good thing and will make his marriage a success. Ì really enjoyed the slapstick nature of this story. It reminded me a bit of Charles Dickins's A Christmas Carol in parts.

I loved reading this very entertaining and fast paced story. It is at times absurd and offers some unexpected turns and is therefore very enjoyable and one of the favourite short stories I read this year.
