#CF British classic George Bellairs
Finish date: 05.12.2024
Genre: CF
Rating: A
Reading time: 5 hours
Bad News: None…I loved the book from cover to cover!
Good News: The writing is close to the bone, stuff that doesn’t flinch.
The narrative is complicated (financial schemes) and there were plenty of emotionally loaded scenes.
George Bellair’s strong point was his use of atmospheric detail and dialogues that sharpen the focus on one character then on another. I asked the question over and over: Whodunnit?
Personal: I’m not one for CF or mystery but this book was the exception! G. Bellairs is indeed a writer who has fallen off the radar but if you are looking for a great piece of sleuthing, Superintendent Littlejohn is the man to meet!
