I really enjoyed this book.
It took me quite a long time to read it, but it was almost a series of short stories and you could pick it up, read a chapter for 10 minutes and put it down, each chapter was a case.
Another thing I experienced while reading this that I hadn't before is after the first couple of chapters I was enjoying it so much and I went on Goodreads to check what everyone else thought. When I saw that ALL the reviews on here were negative it slowed me down. I had been excited by this find and gung-ho but seeing as no one else seemed to like it I questioned myself for a while, was I missing something others saw?
I would say the fun of this book is camp. I didn't know camp existed like this in 1913. I can't wait to read other books by this author. Not everyone gets camp, and it seemed one reviewer's children did, but not many. Camp is the detective learning by correspondence school and dressing in disguises that fool no one. It's the Faulty Towers aspect of the story, where a series of coincidences make it all work out in the end.
The book was a lot of fun.
