Reviews

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fairly enjoyable outing for Ludo Travers, with some crisp detection from George Wharton and not too much overthinking and deception by the detectives.

Parts of the plot were fairly obvious, and the perpetrator and motives were not difficult to spot. The second murder method was one of those over-contrived affairs beloved of GAD writers. However there were lots of interesting characters and the story moved along at a good pace.

A quick and easy read but not over-taxing for the little grey cells. Although Ludo does feel overtaxed in other ways!

3.5 stars.
