What I didn’t like was all the blackface - Jesus, it’s literally 50% of the book, Bertie puts on the black shoe polish halfway through and it doesn’t come off until the penultimate chapter.
Still, this book really showed me how alike mysteries and farces are, with all the setting up and paying off. Wonderfully clever.

Extended scenes of blackface play a major plot role. Slurs throughout the book. A character is held hostage, and another is arrested. A character's home burns down. A minor character gets severely intoxicated. Off-screen incidents of physical abuse to children.robgreig's review
