review 1: I really liked most of this mystery. It was deeper and more serious than a popcorn mystery, the protagonist is a Scotland Yard detective so he has a reason to be poking around like he does, and it takes place in England between the wars which is the golden age for all mysteries. I thought the characterizations of almost all of the suspects were very well drawn. However, I thought the ending was seriously lacking. I reread it three times, and I'm still not sure exactly what happened or who did what. And that's supposed to be the point of mystery, isn't it?
review 2: It took me a bit to get into it but when I was a third of the way through I managed to go through it quickly. I was rather disappointed with the ending. This being the only book I've read of the... more series I'm guessing what the author does is continue the story or the ending to the previous story in the next book but there was nothing conclusive for me to feel satisfied. Someone was still missing and then there was the household he suspected was involved. I guess that could be part of the next book but I don't feel compelled to complete the series or continue. I've read other books that are part of a series and they at least leave more of a conclusion in that book with the possibility of something more to happen. So a good read but rather disappointing ending. less
