The pacing issue is real

It's picking up speed again and is very enjoyable.

I take it back. The language has its own charm, you just need to read this in a quiet place and really allow yourself to enjoy the slang of yesteryear.

The mystery is intriguing enough, but the characters' talk is so excessive - entire paragraphs to express a simple idea.

Plus, Mrs Newland asks not to be a part of this and to remain unknown to the police investigators.
2. David turns up on a man that looks awfully like a shorter slightly older version of the dead body and follows him dropping off a parcel at a luxury good store.
3. Mrs Meake's daughter Thelma hasn't been seen around the house througu the night of the murder.

So much fun!
1. Mrs Newland, the pub, had seen a strange sailor-type Southernn European man hanging out at the pub on the eve of the murder, selling odd things like beads and a partocularly memorable handled knife which waa 14 inches long ans had a copper handlebar with feather-like decorations.

barely started, but I have a good feeling about this one! Hewitt's writing style is funny, full of banter and evokes the period.

Some tournament reading at the NCS World Series for child two. Almost to the end.

A little bit of trading by the wave pool. Murder seems to be wrapping up. Still not sure who the actual perpetrator is…..

Candlelight reading while camping. The webs are woven, waiting for them to wrap up the prey.

A bit of reading at summer basketball. Need to finish this one. It’s not bad, I just forget about it or don’t have it with me. Wondering how the mystery will resolve.
