Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A sociological study of young British men, post-war, thinly disguised as a murder mystery. School-leavers with assorted problems stemming from bad parenting and original sin are the whipping boys of the title. Misguided do-gooder ("There's no such thing as a bad boy") has his clubhouse trashed; the solution is clearly Operation Bootstrap. Main character benefits from National Service, marriage, and fatherhood. Cullingford's characterisation is sharp and her views are anything but clichéd; just not much of a mystery story.
As Miss Maggs made her way nervously home, a clock stuck one, the town's lights were switched off and footsteps sounded behind her. She broke into a desperate run. Later the doctor pronounced that she had literally died of fright.In a provincial town, who was there to suspect but the rowdy gang led by Nick Salter? But Nick's young wife swore to an alibi for him and so Sergeant Brent - a trifle embarrassed as a beneficiary under the will of the deceased - must look deeper into a case in which teenagers might too easily be made the whipping boys for the crimes of others.
