That Mainwaring Affair by Anna Maynard Barbour Classic murder mystery. Wealthy British ex-pat Hugh Mainwaring has no heirs, so for his 50th birthday, he writes his will in favor of his British nephew and namesake, fulfilling years of scheming by the namesake's father Ralph Mainwaring. However, on the morning of his birthday Hugh Mainwaring is found shot dead in his private rooms, and the will has been burned. Let the complications begin!
