Move Your Blooming
Corpse by DE Ireland
Fans of “My Fair Lady” and of the Edwardian era will delight
in this mystery by the writing team known collectively as DE Ireland. Eliza
Doolittle is now teaching diction for Professor Henry Higgins. Colonel
Pickering is still on the scene, as is the annoyingly ardent suitor Freddy
Eynsford Hill.
Eliza’s father Alfred, who is making good money now as a
lecturer for the Moral Reform League, has bought a share in a race horse. When
Eliza joins the party at the Royal Ascot, the race is spoiled by a man running
out into the course in front of the horses.
The previous week a young woman had done the same, as a protest for
women’s suffrage. Was this another protest? It would seem so, except that the
body of an actress, and mistress to two of the other horse owners, was found in
one of the stalls, with a pitchfork through her.
