A Murder of Quality : The Smiley Collection, Paperback / softback Book

A Murder of Quality : The Smiley Collection Paperback / softback

Part of the The Smiley Collection series

Paperback / softback

Description

THE SECOND GEORGE SMILEY NOVELStella Rode has twice disturbed the ancient cloisters of Carne School: firstly by being the wrong sort, with her doyleys and china ducks, and secondly by being murdered.

George Smiley is asked by an old Service friend to investigate.

Smiley knows that Stella feared her husband would murder her, but as he probes further beneath Carne's respectable veneer, he uncovers far more than a simple crime of passion. In his second novel, le Carré moves outside the world of espionage to reveal the secrets at the heart of another particularly English institution. The result is a pitch-perfect murder mystery, with Smiley as master detective. 'Beautifully intelligent, satiric and witty' Daily Telegraph
