julieputty 's review for:

An Expert in Murder by Nicola Upson
3.0

Decent characterization and atmosphere, but the plot didn't really work for me, and there were too many things that just felt anachronistic—the easy acceptance of many gay characters in 1930s England primary among them. I like having gay characters in books, but I like when the portrayal of their lives feels real and not like window dressing.

Josephine Tey as a character doesn't make a huge amount of sense to me, either. But, I guess it made me read the book when I might not have otherwise, so I see why they did it.
