I found this a very satisfactory mystery: the solution to the murder of Sir Stefan was a little twisty and turny towards the end, but the final outcome did put to rest things that had niggled me, which I suppose is good plotting.

The humour pleases me, although I suspect I miss some of the jokes - I certainly can't place all the allusions. At times it reads as if it is set far in the past (when was it written?) - there are attitudes and turns of phrase which are no longer acceptable (and never should have been). ( )
