When a wealthy art lover is found dead among his prized collection, the genteel world of connoisseurship is shattered — and only one man has the acuity to make sense of the chaos. A Death for a Dilettante is a classic British-style whodunit set against a backdrop of privilege, taste, and treachery, following barrister Robert Forsythe and his inimitable secretary Sandy Sanderson as they unravel a murder steeped in jealousy, greed, and the venomous rivalries that fester beneath polished surfaces. E.X. Giroux — the pen name of Canadian author Doris Shannon — masterfully sustains the Golden Age tradition of elegant, cerebral detection, crafting mysteries that reward patient, attentive readers with immaculately constructed plots and richly drawn characters. The Forsythe series stands as a refined homage to the likes of Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh, balancing sharp wit with genuine menace. Whether you are a seasoned devotee of classic crime fiction or a curious newcomer, A Death for a Dilettante promises a puzzle that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
