Just finished two very different mysteries by Georgette Heyer.
Footsteps in the Dark - if I were given this book without the author's name on it I would have sworn it was written by Mary Roberts Rinehart! Same light romantic style with melodramatic villains, etc.
Penhallow - an Agatha Christie style mystery grafted onto a historical romance plotline - old tyrant who refuses to die ruining his adult children's lives, dies after overindulging in dinner, everyone suspects everyone else. Almost the exact plotline setup as in Ngaio Marsh's "Final Curtain" as well.
Both enjoyable reads.
