That said, I felt no great urgency to continue reading it, the plot was rather overplotted (too many suspects, too many clues, and far too much of the detective knowing things but not letting the audience, or the hapless narrator, know).
It's perhaps most enjoyable for its evocation of a then-contemporary 1940s New York City. As the main characters have only recently arrived, you get more of a sense of what it might have felt like than from most period novels set there, but taking it for granted.
She wrote only one other featuring the same detectives, and I may well check it out to see if things improve, but will be in no great rush to do so.
(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).… (altro)
