It was a standard murder mystery which I do generally enjoy. The author's style did take a little getting used to though.

Unfortunately the first person narrative exposes Albert Campion's complete lack of personality.

The story’s flow was a bit hard to follow and dialects always make things harder to read. Only so-so

Well, I must admit that I enjoy being on the outside of Campion's head rather than on the inside. I really had a hard time following the mystery in this story and found it rather hard to believe Campion's discoveries. All in all, I hope that he doesn't get to be first-person again.

A bit snobby for my taste. I couldn't get into this at all.

I haven't raced through a book this fast ever. This was brilliant.
