Super surprising direction of narrative here, but I enjoyed it.
Yes, it was a bit racist at times and yikes to the view of "seductive" underage girls. Also, the resolution felt like it was from the first seeds planted, which felt like a cop out.
But really it was a romance dressed up as a mystery and I appreciate the romance.

Different from previous books in the series, focus not on inspector Grant
I love Tey, but this book was not nearly up to her usual standard, and her troubling politics are evident. A weirdly straightforward book, although it was entertaining as it went.

Book club book - no way id have finished it otherwise. So boring and slow and in many ways very sexist for a book written by a woman.
Although this didn’t feature Inspector Grant very much, I loved Robert and his stodgy manners. I loved his Digestivo biscuits and butter tarts. I loved his aunt and even his nephew. Another Tey gem.
