    About this ebook

    New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!

    Every family has secrets, but the Fountains' are turning deadly

    On a dark night, along a lonely country road, barrister Frank Amberley stops to help a young lady in distress and discovers a sports car with a corpse behind the wheel. The girl protests her innocence, and Amberley believes her-at least until he gets drawn into the mystery and the clues incriminating Shirley Brown begin to add up

    In an English country-house murder mystery with a twist, it's the butler who's the victim, every clue complicates the puzzle, and the bumbling police are well-meaning but completely baffled. Fortunately, in ferreting out a desperate killer, amateur sleuth Amberley is as brilliant as he is arrogant, but this time he's not sure he wants to know the truth

    Georgette Heyer

    Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) was an English writer of historical romance and detective fiction. Born in London, Heyer was raised as the eldest of three children by a distinguished British Army officer and a mother who excelled as a cellist and pianist at the Royal College of Music. Encouraged to read from a young age, she began writing stories at 17 to entertain her brother Boris, who suffered from hemophilia. Impressed by her natural talent, Heyer’s father sought publication for her work, eventually helping her to release The Black Moth (1921), a detective novel. Heyer then began publishing her stories in various magazines, establishing herself as a promising young voice in English literature. Following her father’s death, Heyer became responsible for the care of her brothers and shortly thereafter married mining engineer George Ronald Rougier. In 1926, Heyer publisher her second novel, These Old Shades, a work of historical romance. Over the next several decades, she published consistently and frequently, excelling with romance and detective stories and establishing herself as a bestselling author.

      Frank Amberley is on his way to dinner at his Uncle and Aunt's estate, when he comes across a young woman, Shirley Brown, standing in the road next to a car with a dead man in the driver's seat.Mr. Amberley is asked by the local police force to lend a hand as he was instrumental in closing a prior case. Between directing the bungling constabulary and keeping the inept inspector busy with wild goose chases, Mr. Amberley solves not only this crime, but several others that occur as a result.While I didn't think much of Shirley, I found Aunt Marion a hoot and cousin Felicity a joyful little minx. The police sergeant was such a good natured buffoon, you couldn't help like him (and sympathize when he was so often the target of Frank's "attention"). Frank Amberley was laugh out loud funny with his very (did I mention VERY?) dry, sarcastic humor. In addition, he was extremely clever when putting together all the clues.A criticism would be that there were some clues that the reader wasn't privy to until the big reveal (a la Columbo), but the majority you could get as they emerged or realize after the fact that it had been presented (but missed/overlooked).Overall, a very enjoyable read that I would recommend.Rating: 4 Stars
    • 4/5
      The first of Georgette Heyer's mysteries I picked up - fun! Definitely not quite as good as Dorothy Sayers, but well worth a read, with some excellent amusing moments.
    • 3/5
      This is the first Georgette Heyer I have read and I enjoyed it but it didn't blow me away. It could have had some thing to do with the fact I was reading a 1963 edition of a 1933 book, so it clearly had not been PC'd the way some other newer editions may have been.
      The male protagonist - clearly the basis of a series - is kind of a jerk - totally insulting to the police, other characters and in spite of never explaining anything (and withholding evidence) totally expects everyone around him to have jumped to the same conclusions as he has (pretty far fetched storyline by the way)and to have solved the case. He also get angry at other characters giving away info / interfering in his plans when he hasn't told anyone what he is actually doing... So all in all I found it a bit frustrating.
      I was expecting Agatha Christie and got Arthur Conan Doyle - entertaining but not the same quality.
    • 3/5
      "Why Shoot a Butler?" is a mystery by Georgette Heyer, set in the 1920s England. It reminded me a lot of Agatha Christie, only with Heyer's fun twist on words and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A butler is murdered on the side of the road with a young female in the car with him, protesting her innocence. The ending was somewhat predictable, but it was happy, and it made me happy.
    • 4/5
      Barrister Frank Amberley stumbles upon a crime scene on a deserted road. There's a dead man in a car, and a woman next to the car holding a gun that hasn't been fired. He doesn't mention the woman's presence to the police when he reports the crime. He doesn't believe the woman is the murderer, and his past experience with the local police force leads him to believe that they would instantly assume she is guilty without exploring other options. Amberley feels obligated to involve himself in the investigation since he isn't able to reveal everything he knows.Readers may be as frustrated as the local constabulary are with Amberley's reticence. He doles out information sparingly and is deliberately vague when questioned. He believes that the murder is a part of a larger operation, but he doesn't reveal the nature of the plot to the police or to readers. Some of the characters are suspects while others are potential victims, but only Amberley knows which individuals belong in each category. It's a fun read if you don't mind being strung along by Amberley and you can ignore the technical problems with the plot.
    • 3/5
      The style is very dated. Amberley is driving to his Uncle's home at night and spots a woman standing by a car at the side of the road. He stops to help and discovers a man murdered in the car. There's an arrogant supposedly sophisticated discussion between the two and then he tells her to go before he reports it to the police. Was intrigued by the title and cover but the hero's arrogance, chauvinist's, superior attitude wore me down.
    • 4/5
      I think that of all Heyer's mysteries, this one is my favorite. I guess it could be classified as a "cozy" since the main 'detective' isn't a professional (he's a barrister, but this case isn't related to his work in any way) but it also has aspects of romantic suspense. Sort of a cross between Mary Stewart and Dorothy Sayers. One aspect of not being a police procedural that leapt out at me during this latest reread is it allowed Heyer to give free rein to her genius for repartee. Amberley is a modern day (well, contemporary to when this was written in 1936) version of so many of her heros in the Regency historical fiction books -- intelligent, high-handed, somewhat short-tempered and sarcastic, yet reliable & kind. I think that the mystery is good too, but to be honest, it is hard for me to judge at this point. I have read this several times before and remembered the solution so I was able to pick up clues and hints along the way that I am sure I missed the first time or two I read this.
    • 4/5
      Great characters, including the dry Mr Amberley, who sets out to investigate the shooting of a butler on a lonely road. Cleverly written, leaving us guessing till the end.
    • 3/5
      This was an enjoyable book, and a good crime mystery. At times I was really into it, but other points it didn't retain my interest as much. It was well written with Georgette Heyer's usually good use of language, however at times I felt too much was kept in the dark. Letters, phone calls etc, where we didn't find out what was said or written until the reveal at the end. For me this was a shortcoming.
    • 4/5
      When Frank Amberley discovers a body in a car with a young woman with a gun beside it, on an untraveled road, he becomes involved in solving the mystery of “Why Shoot a Butler”. A visit with a Heyer country mystery. Well researched, this story provides a gently humorous look at an earlier life style in England plus a cozy mystery.
    • 4/5
      Georgette Heyer is probably best known for being the Queen of Regency Romance, having written a barouche full of witty, clever, meticulously detailed examples of the genre over the years. I've read every one of her Regency capers, many of them more than once and some of them more than twice, but I'd never tried one of her forays into the mystery genre until now.The first clue that this mystery is not set during the Regency period is that motor car on the book cover. Indeed, we are in 1930s England, where a young barrister, Frank Amberley, happens upon a car containing a dead man one evening after getting lost on a country road. There's a young woman standing next to the car, but Amberley's instincts tell him she isn't the culprit. Who was, and why, fills the rest of the book as Amberley conducts a parallel investigation to the official police inquiry.The central mystery is solid, with lots of red herrings and twists to keep a reader guessing. And of course there's the obligatory romance subplot, though it's all very low-key until the very end. Heyer proves as adept at writing for her own time as she was at channeling 19th century high society, though with much less baffling slang and minute descriptions of clothes and vehicles. I don't know if I'll ever think of Heyer's mysteries on the same level as her romances, but I'm certainly willing to read more of them.
    • 4/5
      I read Why Shoot a Butler? while the kids were off at school today. I’m more familiar with Georgette Heyer’s romances, but I like her enough that I was willing to try this (besides, my sister gave it to me with a glowing recommendation.)It turned out to be a light, fun read. Frank Amberley’s obnoxious brilliance is entertaining, so much so that I was only slightly annoyed at all the places where he investigated this or that–and then didn’t tell what he discovered. Probably best that way, because it kept me from guessing everything on the second page. As it was, even my somewhat sluggish mind had unraveled about two-thirds of the puzzle by book’s end, so if I’d known more, I probably would have guessed the whole, which tends to make a mystery less interesting.Still, the dialogue is witty, the characters crisp, and the setting the type of idyllic British countryside town I love to visit in books. (I’ve never had the opportunity to visit one in person. Who knows if they even exist, and if so, whether they’d be any fun?)Definitely worth curling up with for a couple of entertaining hours.
    • 3/5
      I can understand why I never encountered this title before now. I appreciate that "Sourcebooks, Inc." has digitized all of Heyer's books, otherwise I would never have seen this one. But it truly isn't Heyer at her best. It does, however, answer the familiar trope: why shoot a butler, indeed.
    • 4/5
      Pretty good - actually, amazingly good. I _hate_ smartass detectives - the ones who tell you in the last pages "Well, of _course_ this was the solution. All you had to know to understand it is the political situation in Outer Kazakhistan in 1902!" This book is full of that kind of smartasses - Amberley and his Aunt Marion, in particular, but everyone knows things they aren't telling - but I still enjoyed it. I figured out Amberley's secret when he said he disliked Shirley; I forget when I figured out Shirley's secret, but it was pretty early. After Mark was gone, though. And of course we the readers have the clue that has Amberley totally stumped... Anyway. Good book. It reads as though there are more Amberley books, but I don't know that that's true - there are a lot of references to previous cases, but they might just be references (to explain the various police attitudes toward him).
    • 3/5
      Read this out of curiosity as I had known of Georgette Heyer's so-so reputation, but not read anything of hers, and not aware that she did anything other than Georgian romances. Plus points: I didn't guess why-done-it, but I found the investigator Frank Amberly insufferably arrogant and was hoping that he would get his come-uppance sooner or later. He didn't. He did have a wonderful Aunt though, very dry and laconic, would have enjoyed far more of her and far less of the bumbling policemen. Rather irritated in the way that smug Amberly went off sleuthing without taking the reader with him. But...plot was as convoluted, and perhaps better written, as a Christie.
    • 2/5
      This would be a much better book if both motive and murderer weren't obvious from about page 50 if not earlier.Also, is this the most unlikeable detective hero in fiction?
    • 3/5
      This stays firmly within the traditional detective genre, with stock standard plot and writing. An easy, pleasant but unmemorable read for a day at the beach.
    • 3/5
      A thoroughly conventional cozy mystery, but since that is my favorite sub genre of the mystery section, I still enjoyed it. The scene is England, the mysterious events all happen in country manors or the fog shrouded countryside, and the characters are wealthy and intelligent and, oh yes, beautiful. It's as if Heyer took all the most common elements from the cozy mystery and threw them into the mixing pot to create her little concoction. The result is a story that is predictable and runs along well-trod ground, but since I love this type of story, I liked it. Reading it felt like slipping on an old favorite sweater: you know exactly the feel and texture, but it's comforting all the same. Frank Amberley, a rich barrister, stops to help a stranded woman on the side of the road one night, and discovers a dead body in her car. He feigns disinterest in the case, but begins quiet investigations nonetheless, and learns that the dead man is actually a butler for one of his parent's rich neighbors. This is the biggest twist in the story, and Heyer capitalizes on it, as everyone is bewildered about the motives of killing a butler. The cranky old man who owns a sizable fortune? Yes. The butler? Unheard of. Of course, the money does play an important factor in unraveling all the clues, as does the mysterious girl, Shirley Brown, whose sparring with Amberley also provides a little romantic subtext.Heyer is not know for her mystery novels (I think she only wrote three) and this is not one of her better works. Still, a fun read, and if you enjoy this type of mystery story, worth a check out.
    • 2/5
      For the fan of Heyer who reads this book because they are entranced with her Regency Romances it will probably be a let down. It is not a badly written book and while the plot is cliched it is not patently ridiculous as is the case with some books written contemporaneously, although it does lack the lightness and wit that readers of the Regency Romances came to expect from the author. For the fan of Heyer’s detective stories this, her second murder mystery, shows the author still experimenting with a format that will let her bring the strengths of her Regencys to a different and more modern genre. Readers may also be turned off, or even depending on their own experiences horrified, by the degree to which the they are presumed to empathize with the idea that aggressive and almost abusive behaviour is experienced (when carried out by the right person) as romantic and attractive.SPOILERS AHEADHeyer’s second excursion into the world of the detective story does not, in the opinion of this reviewer, age as well as the first. The “missing will” and “long lost relatives” plots were even at that time overused in English fiction and Heyer goes to the well of local constabulary incompetence with a frequency that rises to the level of constancy as the book unfolds. The talented amateur benefits from knowledge he never shares with the police and indeed withholds information from the police without which there was no chance for them to solve the case.The opening scene in which the protagonist “meets cute” with the mystery lady over a dead body is in itself a giveaway to the entire plot. Only the most inexperienced reader will not know by the end of this encounter that they will battle with each other through the rest of the book only to realize close to the end they have been in love the whole time. The fact that they find each other intolerable and cannot have a conversation of more than a few minutes duration without a violent argument breaking out does not bode well for their future happiness together.
    • 4/5
      In a nice piece of convention busting the butler is murdered - discovered shot in his car by Frank Amberley, criminal barrister and amateur detective - who is the mystery woman at the scene of the crime, and what is her role in the butler's death? Heyer writes fantastically fun books and this one is no exception, it doesn't matter if you guess the murderer and why, with dialogue like this - ''Very well,' he replied. 'Then I'll say - au revoir!' 'Dear me, am I going to see some more of you?' she inquired. 'You are going to see much more of me than you want to,' said Mr Amberley grimly. 'I've done that already,' she informed him in a voice of great sweetness. He had reached the door, but he turned. 'The we are mutual sufferers,' he said, and went out.' - enjoy the ride.
    • 4/5
      I had never read any Heyer mysteries and picked one up because they were recommended by a friend. She was right, there is something very entertaining about Heyer mysteries. Barrister Frank Amberley is by his own admission one of the rudest men in England. He is irritated by stupidity and finds the local police to be plodding idiots most of the time. But one evening while driving to his uncle's house on the faulty directions of his cousin, he comes upon a very odd scene. He finds a young woman standing by the road with a dead man in the car beside her. She denies any wrongdoing and Amberley believes her though he is sure she is not telling all she knows. This scene sets in motion a series of interesting events of which Amberley insures that he is involved. For starters he finds out that the dead man in the car was the butler of one of his uncle's neighbors. Also the young woman found by the offending body, Shirley Brown, and her brother seem to be caught up in a something that is way bigger than them with additional troubles approaching.Though Amberley's initial demeanor is one that I would normally scorn in a character, for some reason, I really liked him. He is brash, rude and but also very kind and possessing a delightfully dry sense of humor. The mystery turned out to be a bit so, so but the trip there was very enjoyable. There were parts of the book where I felt that it dragged but not enough for me to be bored. I also found the romance angle to be a bit far fetched as the two people who end up together had so much adversarial contact and not enough affection to have ended up together. But all in all, I really enjoyed this book and will definitely read more Heyer mysteries.
    • 4/5
      The story opens with our hero, the barrister Frank Amberley, lost in the countryside, attempting to find his uncle's house where he is visiting for the weekend. He happens upon a car, pulled over at the side of the deserted road, and a pretty young woman standing by the car. Gentleman that he is, he stops to see if he can be of assistance..and finds a recently shot and deceased man in the car and a young woman with a very feeble explanation of what she is doing there. Turns out the dead man is the butler of one of his uncle's neighbors and really, why would anyone shoot the butler. Well, you will have to read the book to find out now, won't you! As Frank says, the murder is the least of the mysteries. Amberley refers to himself as the rudest man in London, and with some cause, and I find him totally wonderful because of it. His banter with the cast of characters, especially the police who take him on as an unofficial detective on the case, is one of the strengths of the book. Honestly, the mystery was a little weak...it must have been because I figured it out and some of the characters are a little undeveloped, but it is still a very enjoyable read. I love a nice mystery, set in the 30's in a country manor house, with servants lurking about, listening behind the doors and chases across the countryside. If you are up for a clever, witty romp, with even a touch of a romance thrown in you should give Heyer a try.
    • 3/5
      Recommended to me as a Golden Age mystery, I was trying to find another author which I enjoyed as much as Dorothy Sayers, Rex Stout and Ellis Peters. Also Agatha Christie.I would rate this book just below Christie. The mystery, writing and story are as well done as any of these authors, but somhow the sleuth doesn't have as much character as theirs. What I know of his character, I don't much like. I felt the romance was poorly written in this story, and the woman not worthy of the sleuth. This is only one book, and I would certainly read another by this author, but it would have to come from the library sale and I won't be keeping them.
