"Ha ha this man made a joke about a whole new ethnic stereotype!"
Later--
"Oh, damn, it was the lynchpin of the mystery."
This book was written in 1941 and it was DOING SO WELL right up until the end. Lord, as they say, love a duck.
Anyway, I enjoyed it. I think this is the third H.M. mystery I've read so far and I'd rank it as my number 2 of the three. Bonus points for the extremely comical just desserts which I won't elaborate on at all, you're welcome.

2.5/5 4 star for the humor, the awesome setup, and the nicely written suspense. 1 star for a part that I consider pretty blatant cheating on the part of the author and antisemitism.
