Delightful, is the best description of this book and it's two predecessors.
The characters are just lovely and its laugh out loud in places. Reading this was what I did yesterday and it was the best 4 hours I've spent in a long time.

SNOW - John Banville
Just the beautifully written country house murder mystery. The motive and killer are an easy pick but the writing is gorgeous.
Banville wrote the Quirke series under his pen name , Benjamin Black, which were sharper mysteries but the writing wasn't of this caliber.
THE VICTORIANS - A N Wilson
A fantastic over view of the UUK in the 19th century. Not heavy history, very funny in places. Wilson informs and entertains
