Le Carre's second book and the only one that is a standard mystery set in a public school, rather than a story of espionage. George Smiley is again the main character.

Review of 'A murder of quality' on 'Storygraph'

A fun George Smiley story; a classic whodunnit, not a spy story. Great writing with great characters; skewering Great British snobbery at a second rate public school. There are a couple of really nice changes of direction towards the end. I thought the mechanics of the murder plot were stretched a little thin though.
