Murder at the Maharajah’s Dinner Party, by Susann Kayser, serves intrigue, in the grand tradition of the great murder mysteries, as the main course: murder. When Martin Weller is inconveniently found murdered during cocktail hour in the Maharajah’s palace, each of the houseguests look to the others as potential murderers. Possible motives abound. Is the murderer Weller’s beautiful young wife, who stands to gain a substantial fortune with her husband’s death? Or is it Jim Garland, the novelist whose brother had been killed while in the employ of Martin Weller? Miriam Sheldon-Hertzel, the kind of woman everyone loves to hate, certainly has her own ideas.
