Overall the book was good but I found [b:The Daughter of Time 77661 The Daughter of Time (Inspector Alan Grant, #5) Josephine Tey https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1394326949l/77661.SY75.jpg 3222080] a much more interesting method of sleuthing and plot.
A murder in a queue, how British, also very relatable.
I liked bits and pieces of this but as a whole? Not so much.
The murder was fun, then things slowed down way too much and I didn't care if the murder would be solved or not. Then things picked up a bit with a trip. And I also liked Miss Dinmont but never really cared for inspector Alan Grant.
Also... a wee bit racist as it's a book of a certain era, “... his grandmother had been Italian, and if he hadn't inherited the knife he had probably inherited the will to use on...”
The idea for the murder was good so I might go for another one, the murder is the reason it gets a 3 star.
