George Baxt: The Affair at Royalties (USA 1988)

From the Publisher:
Baxt Writes A Christie!
This is the story of a woman who emerges from total amnesia to find that she is suspected of murder. Laura Denning, a successful crime writer, comes to consciousness in a London nursing home. As she begins to remember small unconnected things, she is told that she was discovered in the kitchen of her country house, clutching a carving knife, the room drenched in blood. But there was no corpse.

-- Hey, wait a minute. Isn't George Baxt the author of THE DOROTHY PARKER MURDER CASE, A QUEER KIND OF DEATH and SATAN IS A WOMAN? And didn't Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers call Baxt "one of the finest of modern satirists?" So what's he doing writing a British country house mystery?

-- Heh, heh, Read on. You'll see.
