Bats in the Belfry | E.C.R Lorac
7 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MARTIN EDWARDS Bruce Attleton dazzled London's literary scene with his first two novels but his early promise did not bear fruit. His wife Sybilla is a glittering actress, unforgiving of Bruce's failure, and the couple lead separate lives in their house at Regent's Park. When Bruce is called away on a sudden trip to Paris, he vanishes completely until his suitcase and passport are found in a sinister artist's studio, the Belfry, in a crumbling house in Notting Hill. Inspector Macdonald must uncover Bruce's secrets, and find out the identity of his mysterious blackmailer. This intricate mystery from a classic writer is set in a superbly evoked London of the 1930s.

Had to take a break from wrapping because my child decided he needed to “help”, so I took a break and finished my book. Continuing my golden age detective reading trend with a new (to me) author. I had never heard of this author until she was covered on an episode of Shedunnit podcast! Very entertaining read.

Mehso-so

This was more of a so-so for me, because I got a bit bogged down in the story and then found the solution to come out of left field. But I would try another book by this author, because the writing was very good.

Fairly typically entangled Golden Age plot, but I liked that the detective mostly got to the end by plodding away at the police work rather than random wild leaps. Enjoyable stuff, and I wouldn't mind reading another by this author -- she has a nice touch with atmosphere.

Probably shouldn't try reading on the bus (I get travel sick) but I started this earlier and now I'm sooo curious.

Kaye Love the title. 😁 6y
