And so to the novella, set in 1923 and delivering a delightful mixture of Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton.

Jolly hockey sticks and a murder in the drawing drawing room. This was superb

The mash-up of historical and fictional characters is still fun although The Bloody Red Baron isn't as good as I remember Anno Dracula being. This, however, could be more a reflection of my memory than the novel itself.

The Bloody Red Baron is a powerful novel, though. It takes a bit of time to get started but parts three and four are genuinely gripping.
