I'v...Great review, Haynes is a terrific writer. I've managed to review the four Inspector Stoddart mysteries on my own blog (www.crossexaminingcrime.com). I definitely agree about that last minute clue which turns up in the policeman's hat and I personally think The Crime at Tattenham Corner and Who Killed Charmian Karslake? are the strongest Inspector Stoddart mysteries. Additionally in the three previous novels to The Crystal Bead Murders, Haynes' depiction of female characters and in women in general, especially as voiced through Inspector Stoddart and his assistant is bit troubling or at the very least quite perplexing since she was supposed to be a feminist. Do you plan to read any other Haynes' novels?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616800837907092489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-67864788402102499112015-09-25T14:51:17.473+02:002015-09-25T14:51:17.473+02:00It has been noted, Sergio, it has been noted!
