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 first-rate read. An eclectic assortment of characters - a juggler/ventriloquist, antiques dealer, doctor, and more - all appear to be uninvolved and in no way connected to the murder. As Inspector MacDonald delves deeper and deeper, all the bystanders become suspects. The conclusion is surprising but satisfying. Originally published in 1945, the story is set in wartime London with blackouts, sirens, and bombing raids enhancing the atmosphere and mood of the book. On a dark night during wartime London a man is sitting on a bench in Regent's Park. When he notices another man approach the nearby bridge and climb below it. Minutes later another man approaches and stands on the bridge. But within a few minutes the second man is dead. It is up to Chief Inspector MacDonald to unravel the clues and find the murderer and the motive. Originally written in 1945. Quite a few interesting characters in this story, an easy well-written read and with a satisfying mystery. A NetGalley Book geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"London, 1945. The capital is shrouded in the darkness of the blackout, and mystery abounds in the parks after dusk. During a stroll through Regent's Park, Bruce Mallaig witnesses two men acting suspiciously around a footbridge. In a matter of moments, one of them has been murdered; Mallaig's view of the assailant but a brief glimpse of a ghastly face in the glow of a struck match. The murderer's noiseless approach and escape seems to defy all logic, and even the victim's identity is quickly thrown into uncertainty. Lorac's shrewd yet personable C.I.D. man MacDonald must set to work once again to unravel this near-impossible mystery" -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
