I'm sorry, but I was never able to get more than a page or two into this book. I'll try again sometime as most things, especially books, deserve a second chance. Just nothing grab me and I read constantly but this one just didn't work. At least not yet. I have a very large mystery home library, and love variety but . . . We'll see at a later date.
This was pretty dreadful - but I rather enjoyed it! The dialogue was clunky with many anachronistic (it's set in the 1930s) terms. The plotting was poor. The setting was over-described and more than unrealistic - the outdoor features were probably impossible. The characters were two-dimensional. There was too much 'telling' and not enough 'showing'. However, as I said, it was quite a fun read, and, as there are now more in the series, others must agree with me!
