The Rasp by Philip MacDonald
Philip MacDonald introduces one of the most engaging characters among all fictional detectives. Anthony Gethryn is an amateur and, of course, British. The story is set in the bucolic English countryside near London. The case concerns a cabinet minister who has been killed with a most unlikely implement. To discover the murderer, Gethryn must play the role of a villain, an initially effective ploy that becomes complicated when he discovers that the young woman of romantic interest may actually be implicated in the crime.
