A bit Midsommer Murders-ery

by rogerco on Sun 18th Jun 2023.

Filled with tropes of 1950s English village life (is Lydmouth a large village or a small town - and given its name where is the sea?) and a fairly unconvncing plot. Some of the characters are entertaining (the reporter and the detective) but others are somewhat overdrawn (the mad woman and the laird) or just weak (the vicar and his wife).
