A review by laurenla
Frequent Hearses by Edmund Crispin

3.0

While I enjoy vintage crime books and *loved* the madcap mystery The Moving Toyshop by Crispin, this book was not a great one. The film set minutiae entertains, but Crispin seems tired of his amateur sleuth Fen, and Fen has become a bit of a bore. The secondary characters carry more sympathy and more of the story. I found a few too many sexist sentences off-putting as well.
So, please do read Crispin's Fen stories, but start with an earlier one.
