The premise of this book looked intriguing...after researching the author, Henrietta Hamilton, I was even more curious. Unfortunately, the storyline didn’t hold water for me. The author overused the word “stuff.” Two murders, too many suspects, and too many small details (that only made sense if you were very familiar with English culture). Being written in 1959, the main characters, Johnny and Sally Heldar, were a product of their times. Too many red herrings had me wanting to put the story aside. However, I persevered to the end, but that didn’t bring the clarity that I hoped for.
