Anty Boisjoly is back to fill the gap that overlaps between Ruth Rendell and P. G. Wodehouse, and where Jerome K. Jerome meets Dorothy L. Sayers.The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine is another mystifying, manor house stumper for Wodehousian bon-vivant and problem-solver Anty Boisjoly, when his clubmate asks him to determine who died first after a duel is fought in a locked room. The untold riches of the Tenpenny Tontine are in the balance, but the stakes only get higher when Anty determines that, duel or not, this was a case of murder.

Punny, very punny.
Quite frankly, I did not pay much attention to the convoluted murder plot, the mistaken identities of the real and fraudulent bastard heirs, or the financial details of the eponymous tontine.
The story is a parody, pure entertainment. I just sat back to enjoy Anty’s unique approach to detection from the viewing of the victims to the final denouement. “What ho, wary gallery of likely suspects!”
An added bonus of this book were the alliterative or rhyming chapter titles. Starting with “The Dual Duel Dilemma” they all rated at least one giggle. (
