Helpful Score: 2
Not a formula mystery by any means; more of a psychological novel. I figured out the retro part fairly early on, but I read on, fascinated by the additional layers of character that were revealed, and the way I felt immersed in a different mindset, in long gone ways of thinking, such that the modern part of the ending came as a surprise.
If this novel has a flaw, I think that it might be that even though it was written in 1995 and partially set in that then-contemporary day, the characters seem rather old-fashioned in their cultural tastes and ways of interacting; in one scene when the author says a character is dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, I went what? she doesn't seem like the type. But it is British and they are different.
Good read.
