You may call this a cozy crime story. It's not really a mystery, since there's never any doubt who the criminal is. There question is how is George, who writes the local advice column, going to help the elderly woman who's as foolishly in love as many elderly men?It's got an old-fashioned feel to it. I expected Miss Marple to arrive any moment, and for the lady of the house to invite twenty people over for a weekend house party.The settings are well-described. George is quite a different kind of crime hero. When you've read too many hard-boiled detective novels, this story is the antidote.
