sandin954's review against another edition
3.0
A good solid read which explores family relationships and how children adapt to being torn from their original families either by war or abduction. The main character was a bit distant though and while the puzzle of his past was interesting it did not seem to matter that much and I also missed the author's usual humor and wit.

This was a cozy little mystery set in Great Britain.

I see this book gets a lot of poor reviews. But the story kept me wanting to finish so there's that.
I can only give less than three stars if I wish I'd never read the book.
Story seems formulaic: conceive a premise and protagonist then populate his world with caricatures. But the construction of the backstory was intriguing.
The ending is rubbish, but what else would you do?
Give it a miss.
