Bats in the Belfry by E.C.R. Lorac
4.0
How would you commit - and then hide - a murder? This is the question being discussed at a social gathering in the home of Bruce Attleton and his wife Sybilla. But when Bruce is discovered to be missing, we have to wonder if the discussion has had dark consequences.
This is a fun mystery - lots of suspects keep MacDonald on his toes. I enjoyed the supporting characters - even the intrepid reporter who muddles more than he helps didn’t get too annoying in this one. Surprisingly, MacDonald is at his gruffest - usually so mild-mannered as to be almost a non-entity, a gruff MacDonald is still fairly easy-going, and he keeps his self-deprecating humor.
If you enjoy Lorac and golden age mysteries, you'll like this one.
