Turns out I don't like police procedurals even when they were written in the 1930s. I enjoyed the mystery, but there's just so much faffing around when explaining the procedure.

The third book in this series and I went straight on to it from book 2. I like the mystery - and the solution was one I really didn't see coming. I'm looking forward to book 4.
bhavani's review against another edition
3.0
Despite the fact that it was published in 1934, the book feels surprisingly fresh and modern in its approach towards crime solving. A likable protagonist, Inspector Richardson is thorough in his investigation and dedicated to his job. The story's pacing is quick and not a scene or conversation is unnecessary or wasted on matters not related to the investigation or people indirectly involved in the story. With all the hallmark features of a classic whodunnit, The Case of Naomi Clynes can be summarised as a tightly-plotted tale that moves quickly, leaves no stones unturned, and arrives at its conclusion with all the loose ends tied up nicely.
