I enjoy the telling of the story as much as the mystery when I read mysteries. This certainly ticks all the boxes.
"As a matter of fact, Inspector," he said, "I was wondering why an obviously well-dressed man like that should have chosen to wear a green bow tie with a grey suit."

Slightly above average police procedural. There’s a complicated pot involving a financier and schemes gone wrong. While I did see the twist, it didn’t help me identify the killer. That part was really well done. I’m looking forward to more of Hare’s work, since this was his first novel. ( )
