Honestly, I don't know why I keep trying it with these Innes books; I find them deeply unsatisfying in both style and content. They read like the cleverest boy showing off in class and you just want to knock him one in the eye. Man, if you don't want to write mysteries, then don't. Shoot. Anyway, a hard pass and probably the last time for me with Inspector Appleby.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Recent Reads: Operation Pax. Michael Innes' Appleby doesn't arrive until halfway through this Oxford-centric thriller. A secret group of scientists plot world domination, but a conman and a refugee academic accidentally stand in their way. A technothriller from 1951 in disguise?
