Rather silly, like Moyes mostly is, but also with a rather devastating ending, which is also something she did a lot

With this story, Moyes is in England, where I prefer her characters to be. Not only that, Moyes brings back a character from my favorite one of her mysteries, Murder Fantastical. In that book the Bishop of Bugolaland thinks in crossword puzzle clues. He becomes essential to solving the mystery in this novel.

This was a good, classic British mystery. I was entertained by the whole tale.

Reread this one yesterday. Chief Superintendent Henry Tibbett is asked to speak at a mystery writers group, but they decide to play a little prank on him by sending anonymous crossword puzzles, accusing the writers themselves of murder. But one of the group is playing a double game, hoping to get Tibbett to investigate a real murder. Tibbett must decide which of the three cases is the real one.

Engrossing up to the halfway point, then it started dithering, and ended implausibly. Not one of her best.
