Laurie’s Reviews > The Paddington Mystery > Status Update

I was confused at first by the many negative-to-lukewarm reviews of this book because the first several chapters are engaging and fun, with expressive prose, smart dialogue, and an intriguing plot, but at chapter 7 the way Vere (by far the most interesting and appealing character) is characterized by the main character as some psycho hussy when he’s the one who’s consistently been an asshole is driving me nuts.
