The Other Half

Charlotte Vassell

Anchor Books/PRH

   A very British mystery with a great deal of humor (much aimed at the too riche) and an intriguing cast of characters, each with their own not-at-all subtle flaws. A detective that you can't help rooting for, a very smug and guilty aristocrat that you can't help hate and several wonderfully drawn peripherals.

   A fun read unless you happen to be a British upper-crust, then it might hit too close.
