pickI loved this classic mystery set in an English country village. Adam Grant is a wonderfully warm, intelligent detective so it was fun to be in his company solving the disappearance of the Hollywood photographer Leslie. Great characters, nuanced relationships and it feels modern despite being published in 1950. Clean, strong writing with a sense of humour & well-paced. A simple story with rich layers underneath.
pickWritten in the 1950s but it feels so modern. Tey writes interesting characters and although it‘s a classic country house style mystery it follows the rules with some added nuances. She touches on taboos, on different ways of thinking expertly. She captures conversations with brevity and leaves lots of room to add interpretation!
Wow - I did it! Wanted to set pages rather than book targets this year as history chunkster were my genre of the year!
pickRealised that this was one book in the Inspector Alan Grant series that I had missed out.
A solid mystery with a decent twist at the end.

A mysterious, slightly lopsided pyramid? No, just a pyramid of my favourite mystery books and authors, albeit lopsided. 😁
