pickI feel like this one didn't quite connect the dots up fully before the dramatic ending, but it was okay. It felt very transitional as a book, somewhere between the classic crime of Lorac etc al and the gory details of a lot of modern crime.
Enjoyable in the sense of being interesting to me, but not a favourite of the series. Lots of unpleasantness.
Ohhh this autopsy scene is very un-classic. Which makes sense, this is from the 60s and about the outside of this series' usual range, but I was not expecting it in a British Library Crime Classic. Much more like a precursor of the modern police procedural type stuff; Rankin, McDermid, etc. Not my comfort zone at all.
I was a bit disappointed this month when my British Library Crime Classic subscription book arrived and... the free bookmark was totally bent.
Blessings to the person working for the British Library shop who read my sad “my free bookmark with this month's book was bent... can I pay you to ship me a spare? I collect them“ message and sent me... this many.
I love you, whoever you are. You made my day. 💙💙💙
