I've been dragging this ex-library book around for 20 years and finally decided to read it. It started out well - a mixture of Agatha Christie and Mary Burchell. It's dated, of course, but engaging. Then it got kind of ridiculous, and ended with the model heroine participating in a runway wedding and finding the man she loves/hates posing as the groom. Eyeroll. And seriously, you don't like your butler and he actually threatens you and you just keep letting him butle? Also (spoiler) the parrot dies.
