Reading the Detectives discussion

Welcome to our October/November 24 buddy read of Everybody Always Tells Book 27 in the Bobby Owen series this was first published in 1950.

Bobby Owen of Scotland Yard and his wife Olive are busy bargain-hunting in a famous London department store. But a shopping expedition nearly turns into a crime scene when Olive discovers a necklace stuffed in her handbag. The plot thickens when it transpires it was placed there by one Lord Newdagonby - whose stout denial of the act is swiftly followed by a fatal knife blow to a prominent scientist. The meaning of this locked-room murder, and its connection to a dilettante inventor, a disrespectful daughter, and the pearls in Olive's bag, form one of Bobby's most puzzling investigations.

Please do not post spoilers in this thread. Thank you.

As it is not convenient to listen to audio for a couple of days, I put aside Lamentation and picked up Everybody Always Tells. It is off to an interesting start.
