Snobs or Past Imperfect by Julian Fellowes. We’ve reviewed these before, but they deserve a repeat because Fellowes wrote the screenplay for Downton Abbey. One contributor said: Fellowes “writes wonderful breezy beach reads about the dying English class system. Very plot driven and fun, with terrific observations about snobby nobility and their motivations.” (Ed: If you want to pick one or the other, pick Snobs).
