I'm more than happy to discover this writer new to me and I loved this story.
Even if it was written in 1959 it aged well and it is still a very pleasant and entertaining novel.
I read in one setting and was fascinated by the well developed cast of characters and the general atmosphere.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and the solution came as a surprise.
It's a book based on dialogues more than descriptions. You've got the same elements of the detective and it was an interesting mental exercise trying to understand what was the truth and what wasn't.
The characters are well thought and the historical background is vivid and well described.
I would like to read other books by this author as this one was excellent.
Strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
