Murdered to Death is the first in the Inspector Pratt trilogy of spoofs by
Peter Gordon, of the Agatha Christie genre, with a dash of Clouseau thrown in for good measure.

It is set in a 1930s English manor house, and introduces the inept and bungling Inspector Pratt, who battles against the odds and his own incompetence to solve the murder of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet – will the miscreant be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom?
