A review by caroparr
Head of a Traveler by Nicholas Blake

2.0

I grew up with this gruesome edition among my parents' extensive collection of mysteries, so I must have read it at some point in my misspent youth. This time around, I found the mystery tedious (I'm not a fan of timetable mysteries because of the repetitive details), the characters unattractive, and the dated attitudes toward rape and dwarfism repellent. I do think there are better Strangeways novels out there, but this one was alternately unpleasant and boring.
