This was a delightfully complicated mystery story. It's British mystery - in the same genre as Christie and Doyle. It's in the high brow style - the vocabulary is a notch above the usual whodunit. fait attention - there are the politically incorrect comments peppered throughout revealing how much our language has changed. This will definitely please you if you like are a connoisseur of mysteries. I have since bought and read 3 more Crispins and will continue to look for them.
