The Herring in the Library by L.C. Tyler 225 pp.
Apparently this is the third book in the Ethelred and Elsie mystery series. Ethelred is a mediocre mystery author and Elsie is his nosy and annoying agent. After an invitation to the local manor, owned by Ethelred's college pal "Shagger" Muntham and his aristocratic wife. Sticking with the usual manor house mystery trope, Shagger is found murdered in his locked study/library. Ethelred and Elsie use their sleuthing talents to solve the mystery of Lord Muntham's death. This book is a send-up of the stereotypical British country house mysteries with the "locked room" detail added. Not great literature but an amusing, light-hearted take on the genre. And it was only $1.99 on Kindle.
