Black As He's Painted by Ngaio Marsh

2.0

I've been giving a lot of these books three stars when I mean 3.5, and I just needed to distinguish this one as difficult for me to deal with by giving it a lower rating. There was a good deal of Troy, which I always like, and some very good Fox moments, and Alleyn interacting with a cat...but the double-whammy of a TON of racism and almost as much fatphobia just made it much more emotional labor than the rest of the series.
