Books can be about murder. Books can also be about tea. It's in the eye of the beholder!
What, hoewver can you do, when the murder in the book happens, and then every other page you flip, someone is drinking tea? Well, you just put up with it. But what do you do when the plot is shallow and narrow?
I don't know. However, the book does offer a typical ornamental British discussion of everything from thin air to the London tower in exquisite imaginary detail. Oh, and don't forget the tea....
So the low down is, the plot is thin, not too easy to discern in say, the first fifty pages. After that you will probably read it for propriety, to just get done with it.
Not recommended, unless you never read a mystery novel before, and never want to read one again...
1.5/5
