He had no great interest in technology, requiring only that it should work efficiently. If a machine broke down he replaced it with a different model since money was less important than saving time and avoiding the frustration of argument. The telephone he hated. It was in the hall and he seldom answered it, preferring to listen to the recorded messages every evening.

Dalgliesh thought, Hasn’t it always been like this? People tell me things. I don’t need to probe or question, they tell. It had begun when he was a young detective sergeant and then it had surprised and intrigued him, feeding his poetry, bringing the half-shameful realization that for a detective it would be a useful gift.

She thought of faces as being either softly moulded or carved. His was carved. It was a handsome authoritative face and the dark eyes that looked into hers were kindly. He had an attractive voice, and voices had always been important to her. And then she remembered Muriel’s words. The police believe nothing, that’s the way they’re trained to think.

how are you finding it so far? As I mentioned, a number of readers didn't like this one so much, but I really did.

So far it is only the chapter portraits of each of the family and museum workers, with a brief diversion to Emma Lavenham. Such superb character writing that is a pleasure to read compared to so many present day writers of so-called "mysteries." My excerpt is from the chapter on the brother Dr. Neville Dupayne, who plans to close the museum. 🤫
