I love John Bude's mysteries and I loved those in this book.
Both are highly entertaining and gripping, a mix of comedy of manners and Golden Age mystery.
The characters are well developed, quirky and likeable, the setting is vivid and lovely.
The mystery are complex, full of twists and turns, and the second one was a great "locked room" mystery with a surprising end. I got the culprit of the first one but I appreciated the complex solution.
I can't wait to read other stories by this great author.
A must read for whodunnit lovers, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Two books in one fro fabulous author from the golden Age, John Bude. I really love these mysteries, they are hard to get hold of, and it is great that they are being reissued. If you like books that have a interwoven mystery, with lots of quirky twists, full of characters of their time. A mystery that maybe you can solve before the book ends, then this book is for you. I got the first story but was surprised by the second.
More please.
