A review by dmwhipp
A Shot in the Dark by Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

2.0

This felt like the outline for TV show more than a novel. The characters were one dimensional, and the writing was filled with too many sentence fragments, as well as an overuse of italics. As for the plot, a lot of holes, such as how a chauffeur who couldn't hold a job was hired in the first place. And the two main characters who supposedly worked in intelligence during the war took their time in realizing what was obvious to most mystery readers instantly - there was no second thief. It was thankfully short.
