The Treasure at Poldarrow Point by Clara Benson was the third of her books I've read. I have found it interesting that, although each book, "stars" Angela Marchmont each is different in style and tone. My supposition is that the amateur author, Miss Benson, was experimenting with different styles in her story presentation. At the same time, I can see a  steady progression in Miss Benson's skill in writing. The first was so-so, the second was quite good, and this one is even better.In my opinion, The Treasure at Poldarrow Point, is aimed at a younger audience than the first or second book. Although Angela is a main character, her 12 year old god daughter is the real protagonist of this novel. I hope she appears in Miss Benson's fourth novel.No, this isn't Christie or Sayers, Marsh or Allingham, but it is still well worth a read by any fan of the 20's / 30's British mystery genre.
