A review by nekreader
The Singing Sands by Josephine Tey

3.0

This is another Tey mystery that is more novel than mystery, at least in the classic sense. I really loved parts of this book, but found other parts less satisfying. The descriptions of the Scottish people and landscapes are exceedingly well drawn. Inspector Grant's character is rounded out a bit more. I wish we had seen more of Laura. I liked her and her son, Pat. The actual mystery is really secondary to Grant working through his personal crisis; Nevertheless, the ending was just a bit too tidy. Nevertheless, well-written and throroughly enjoyable.
