T E B Clarke - Murder at Buckingham Palace - Hale - 1981
This is the book I`m reading at the moment.
Thomas Ernest Bennett Clarke, known by the nickname Tibby, was a prolific author of both fiction and non-fiction but is probably best remembered as a screenplay writer (The Blue Lamp, Passport to Pimlico, The Lavender Hill Mob and more).
He is known for writing crime fiction novels disguised to seem like works of non-fiction, Murder at Buckingham Palace being a case in point. In fact, the disguise is pretty thin and I cannot imagine anyone reading this without realising it is a novel.
While I haven`t finished it yet it is thoroughly enjoyable and I`m giving serious thought to trying some of his other books.
