I enjoyed this book more than The Crime at Black Dudley. Albert Campion is staying to develop more as a character, but the reader is kept at a distance, in the same way that he holds himself back from his companions. 

I enjoyed the role of the salt marsh and it's description, as it's an environment that is familiar to me.
