- You’d enjoy this for Inspector Hanaud, a sharp, theatrical French detective who questions everyone at the Villa Rose in Aix-les-Bains. The pace is deliberate and the manners are very 1910, but the careful deductions and faintly sinister atmosphere reward you if you like your mysteries patient rather than breathless.
- Harry Feversham gets branded a coward before he's done anything, and the book is his slow, secret answer to it, one returned feather at a time. It's earnest Edwardian adventure with a surprisingly tender heart, especially around Durrance, and it rewards a patient reader.
