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.\n\nE.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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161025749211,"sku":"2026200011233-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5ef8ea1c-bf69-426f-a3db-7b33453c68fe.png?v=1787189340","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011233-secondhand-a-death-for-a-dilettante-a-robert-forsythe-mystery","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
