More of the Same

by Roger CO on Wed 12th Jul 2023.

Lydmouth is still trapped in the aspic of the 1950s with its dramas exaggerated. Much the same plot as the previous one in the series (and the same main characters of course - with the Dean replaced by the Actor).

A competent mystery with two or three distractions away from the main whodunit providing other possible suspects. Actually the final twist was a bit unexpected - patricide when it was not confirmed exactly what the relationship was until very near the end. Still ultimately uninteresting.
