A classic British crime novel, Blue Blood Will Out introduces readers to Simon Bognor, a bumbling but endearing investigator from the Board of Trade, thrust into a world of aristocratic intrigue and murder. Tim Heald chronicles Bognor's investigation into the suspicious death of a member of the British upper class, where ancient privilege and modern scandal collide with darkly comic results. The novel presents a sharp satirical portrait of England's class system, skewering the pretensions of the nobility with wit and precision. Heald masterfully balances genuine suspense with gentle humour, crafting a mystery that is as much a social comedy as it is a whodunit. Blue Blood Will Out marks the debut of one of crime fiction's most endearingly hapless heroes, launching a beloved series that would run for decades.
