Synopsis
Murder pays no respect to rank…or the neighbourhood.A young aristocrat Timothy Wycliffe was bludgeoned to death in his elegantly furnished flat in Belgravia, and the murderer was never identified.
Then the dead man’s friend Peter Proctor – now a retired Member of Parliament – attempts to write his own memoirs. But Peter keeps getting side-tracked by speculation on Timothy’s death. The murder was allegedly accomplished by a beating from one of his boyfriends. But Peter can’t accept so simple a solution, so he begins to probe the past. In so doing, he opens a fascinating window on British society during the 1950s and its changing – and unchanging – mores since.
As with all books by Robert Barnard, A Scandal in Belgravia is brilliantly written, fast-paced, and sharply inquiring.
