Status Updates From The Bittermeads Mystery

Yeah, the main character is way out of his depth when it comes to plotting and subterfuge, and it's pretty obvious now who the shadowy villain is. To me, but not to the MC.

Especially at the beginning, this has the over-excited prose and larger-than-life characters of a pulp adventure, rather than the more staid presentation of the usual classic mystery. The editing leaves something to be desired, especially the comma splices and comma placement in general. But, by keeping the main character's purpose mysterious, it does compel reading. (I'm sure I've guessed who he is, though.)

Very enjoyable mystery. Typical of the many Bobby Owen mysteries of which he wrote so many.

Great mystery!

Das Rätsel löst sich langsam, Dunn hat von Anfang an den falschen Leuten sein Vertrauen geschenkt und in Wirklichkeit niemand überlistet. Er war vom ersten Moment an enttarnt. Später immer wieder gern angewandter Clou bei Undercover-Streichen.

Seltsamer Fall von Undercover-Ermittlung an der britischen Countryside, die erste 20% waren absolut brillant, aber nach dem Aufbau der Tarnung dümpelt die Handlung ein wenig.

An oldie, cited as melodramatic, of which there is no doubt. Bittermeads also requires the wilful suspension of wanting to know what's going on. At the 74% I have no idea, nor will I be surprised if I never find out. It's the first of a long series, of which I've sampled more than a few, not finding them to my taste, but this is one is a bit addictive. They do not write them like they used to. TBS.
