More Work for the Undertaker by Margery Allingham
4.0
She's a marvelous find. For anyone who appreciates Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, well-plotted Golden Age mysteries, not too violent/gritty/disturbing, eccentric characters, unusual situations, a bit of wit (well, a lot, in Sayer's case), Allingham is their slightly-younger near literary cousin, and luckily she was prolific.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve!
