Somebody at The Door by Raymond Postgate

4.0

Unusual mystery in that the mystery is often in the background as we go through the life stories of the people who travelled with him on the train, who all turn out to be connected to him in some way. I can understand people who find that distracting but I enjoyed it. The characters are written pretty well and the stories are interesting - and you can tell pretty clearly the author was a socialist. The mystery itself is interesting although not particularly substantial and the way it's handled is pretty clever I think. Lots of misdirection.
