Black Plumes by Margery Allingham

3.0

I'm still deep into the genre of mysteries published in the first half of the 20th century. This one fits well since it was originally published in 1940. It's a typical country house mystery, except this time the house is in London, where a member of the family is murdered and the culprit must be someone within the four walls. In this plot, the almost 90 year old grandmother plays a significant role--that is, when she's rational. Lots of red herrings. An enjoyable read.
