The Tiger in the Smoke by Margery Allingham
5.0
dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A re-read. The tension and atmosphere of this book never fails to get to me. Great cast of weird and wonderful characters. I particularly like Inspector Charlie Luke in this book.
His reaction when the young detective is murdered hits me every time: it's so human.
