I read this last many years ago and it's still very amusing, although not as laugh-out-funny as I remembered. I loved how MIss Melville puts conditions on who she'll assassinate and how she's going to get paid. The fact that this woman who grew up in high society, has been a member of the upper class (poor, but still...) and yet she has absolutely no qualms about taking a life is part of the joke. The party crashing is pretty funny too, with Miss Melville's constant maneuvering to keep her society friends and the party-crashing acquaintances from intersecting.
