OK, I did half wonder if Julia had done that at the time of reading that particular letter. Still, end of chapter 16 is pretty funny. I’m inclined again to think whodunnit is hiding in the shadows but don’t exactly know why. I mean, the business with the maps required great attention to detail, so….

Note to self: do a better job verbalizing to cement in imagery if you want to solve even some aspects of the mystery!

I’ve become used to the rhythm of the narrative style, and appreciated some of the humour. It’s like having a peek into a bygone life. I feel like it’s too obvious who could have done it, and the actual culprit is hiding in the shadows but not sure of the motive.

Already by the end of the first paragraph, I know I have to adjust my English language style in my brain to what I haven’t heard in ages. Very British English. It’s almost like having to learn a new language!
