Some Must Watch by Ethel Lina White

4.0

Whenever I cannot decide on which genre I want to read, I tend to be selecting mysteries at the moment. I have really enjoyed a couple of White's books to date, but was rather disappointed by the last which I read. Still, I had rather high hopes for Some Must Watch. White writes wonderfully, and I found the novel engaging from its first page. I love country house mysteries, and this is one of the better ones which I have read for a while. The real strength here, aside from the well developed and engaging cast of characters, is the atmosphere which White creates; the novel is incredibly creepy at times because of it. White's work is nowhere near as quaint as that of a lot of her contemporaries, and there are plenty of twists and turns here to satisfy every reader.
