maccymacd's review against another edition
3.0
I was so disappointed with this Crime Club selection. What annoyed me so much was that certain parts were extremely funny, to the extent that I was chuckling away (partly due to Ben, the tramp and his voracious range of cockney dialogue which I had to speak out loud to understand) but for the good part of the story I can't say I cared one way or another about what was happening, and then I also got mixed up with the various people (I.e. who was a criminal, who was double crossing who etc). I did like the idea of the book being split into two sections, but not enough that it will raise my star rating any higher than 3. Sorry J. Jefferson Farjeon.
