Having written books for my own enjoyment, I am happy that Clara Benson's books were published after her death. Some reviewers worried more about whether it was Agatha Christie  quality. Yes, the clues were sometimes easy to spot, some of the characters could have been more developed, it was locked door murder, and maybe, you might solve the murder before her sleuth does. I rather doubt that all readers (reviewers) solved it early in the book, thus ruining the book.I found it to be an enjoyable read not unlike watching a Hallmark Special without commercials. I spotted some of the clues early in the book and t ruefully I wrongly solved many times before Ms. Benson (actually her sleuth Angela) destroyed all my theories. I would strongly recommend this book for those that like British mysteries for what they are.
