This was billed as a golden age mystery. Part of the reason might be that I have it on audio and the accents are so heavy that I have a difficult time understanding the voices, even when I turn the speed down to 80%. Had I know that was book # 17 in the series, I would have never gotten it! The book was 306 pages and I'm calling it quits after 72. My library does not have a hard copy and certainly not going to buy one; hence a DNF. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Set about 20 years after WWII and Timothy, about to elope with his fiancee, finds out that he was adopted and the man he thought was his father isnt. Meanwhile, in a slum part of London that was bombed out during the war, a new start is threatened by a model flat being trashed by an unknown assailant.
Everything comes together, pulling together the fall out from the Blitz and the confusion of evacuation, blackmail, murder, and alcoholics.
Not the best Campion book, (too much focus on the other characters in the book to allow Campion to come through) and not my favourite - the fact that it took over a week to complete what is quite a short book shows this. ( )
