Murder by Matchlight by E.C.R. Lorac

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

4.0

Another great mystery by E.C.R. Lorac aka Carol Carnac. I've finally gotten to another book by her after reading "Crossed Skis" last December. I really enjoy her writing and although I didn't solve this one, it was still an enjoyable read. I liked the tension she instilled in the story with everything that was happening during wartime- blackouts, rationing coupons, bombed out places, the general darkness in the atmosphere and he threat of something bigger in the background. It was quite palpable at times and was more devasting towards the end of the novel. Can't wait to get to the next. And I guess it's ok to read these out of publication order?
