This was only ok. It got better at the end but mostly because the mystery getting solved. But there were too many characters that were indistinguishable from each other and I did not care about the person who was murdered either.

Outrageously and almost painfully British. I encountered an unfamiliar word or phrase about every five pages, but had very little impulse to look them up. The characters were all awful people, except the Inspector. I rather liked him, and so I may someday give another in the series a try.
