mumsie_2's review against another edition

funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Love this writer. Very sad that there will only ever be four books from her.

This one felt darker than the other three, but it's been a while since I've read them - maybe I'm misremembering! It still has the sense of humor that I've come to expect. Overall an enjoyable and fairly easy read.

Beach read. Not as good as the other two I have read by her, but still enjoyable.

Laughed out loud many times. Like a snarkier, funnier, queerer Josephine Tey.

Minus star for lazy/unnecessary fatphobic language.

Only 4 books? So sad. They are dense with sly wit and charming characters. Sigh.

Nothing like a mystery that starts out with a tax law issue to get me excited. This wasn't exactly an exciting novel, set out mostly in a series of letters. Rather it is a good story told by a wonderful story teller. I can't wait to pick up another one of Caudwell's novels.
