I have loved many of Mitchell's Mrs. Bradley's mysteries, but couldn't even finish this one. I gave up even before Mrs. Bradley appeared, being so annoyed at some of the characters laid out early, especially a 15 year old boy whose manner of speech was the equivalent of reading nails on a blackboard (he insisted on calling his mother "mater," for one thing.) The crime seemed unusual and interesting but the inhabitants of the country home were all pretty inane and I didn't want to spend any more time in their company. Disappointing.
