Changes

I will certainly be looking out for more of Gladys Mitchell's work. Although not deeply impressed by the story, it is good enough to suggest that other books will be more promising. Most of all, I enjoyed the period feel and fans of the Queens of Crime are bound to feel the same. Vintage Books have made a sound decision to reissue these books, and for that, they should be commended. Three stars out of five.

Further reading suggestion: If you enjoy this type of fiction, you will also like [[Coroner's Pidgin by Margery Allingham]] and [[Murder at Deviation Junction by Andrew Martin]].
