Inspector Alleyn again solves the murders in a sea of red herrings assisted by his reliable aide de camp Fox. Many of the characters were very irritating and tone of story jolted rather against modern day mores. Phillip Franks did an admirable job given the vast range of characters.

Gruesome thriller

The narrator was expressive but sometimes sounded as if he was in an Enid Blyton Famous Five story. However overall this didn’t distract from this excellent story.

Excellent who dunnit
