When Lord Osprey is found dead amid his distinguished family and a houseful of guests, Appleby must navigate a web of aristocratic secrets, old rivalries, and carefully constructed alibis to uncover the truth. Michael Innes brings his signature wit and erudition to the narrative, crafting a puzzle that is as intellectually stimulating as it is entertaining, with prose that rewards the attentive reader. The novel perfectly illustrates the golden-age tradition of the country-house mystery, blending sharp social comedy with genuine suspense in a way that has made Innes a perennial favorite among connoisseurs of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887896572123,"sku":"2026100006892-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/87c3dd4e-1eba-4794-8b56-847fd766bc34.png?v=1781748186","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006892-secondhand-appleby-and-the-ospreys","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
