British mysteries usually leave me flat. They may speak the Queen's English but it certainly isn't the same language as I speak. There idioms really throw me and detract from the story as I need to stop reading and try to figure out if it is something important or just background.

Having said that, I did like this story though it wasn't exciting at all. The British are too upper crust and hold all emotions inside so the book lacks feeling. I just knew they arrested the wrong guy about 1/3 of the way through. They finally figured it out in the last chapter and left the reader guessing as to the outcome. If I wanted to guess, I could write my own novel.
