A review by offenbach
The Tiger in the Smoke by Margery Allingham

2.0

Not a fan. This is one of those books you have to pay close attention in order to avoid missing the plot (somehow, important points hare hidden or offered in a backhanded way). Which is fine, but the whole thing has so much extraneous description and unnecessary background that it's exhausting to do so.

Also, the women all seem rather helpless.
