A brilliant noir farce, a dystopian vision of Britain, a family history and the story of an obsession. Michael is a lonely, rather pathetic writer, obsessed by the film, 'What A Carve Up!' in which a mad kinfeman cuts his way through the inhabitants of a decrepit stately pile as the thunder rages. Inexplicably he is commissioned to write the family history of the Winshaws, an upper class Yorkshire clan whose members have a finger in every establishment pie, from arms dealing to art dealing, from politics to banking to the popular press and factory farming. During his researches Michael realizes that the Winshaws have cast a blight on his life, as they have on Britain. His confidence, his sexual and personal identity begin to reform. In a climax set in the Winshaw's family seat the novel turns into the film, 'What A Carve Up!' as a murderous maniac stalks the family and Michael discovers the significance of Shirley Eaton's lingere.

阿加莎式的悬疑推理+社会讽刺小说，通过winshaw家族成员的故事展现二战后英国各方位的衰败。对话涉及的时代梗很多，边查边看很有趣。特别是对话，太British了，英国黑幽默总是戳我笑点HHH情节还算紧凑，英剧差不多的感觉。这部小说在国内还不大有名啊，英亚4.1/5，值得推荐
