Summary

When Bobbie Cheldon falls in love with a pretty young dancer at the Frozen Fang night club, he has every hope of an idyllic marriage. But Nancy has more worldly ideas about her future: She is attracted not so much to Bobbie as to the fortune he expects to inherit.

Bobbie's miserly uncle Massy stands between him and happiness: Massy will not relinquish the $10,000 a year on which Nancy's hopes rest. When Bobbie falls under the sway of the roguish Nosey Ruslin, the stage is set for murder in the heart of Piccadilly - and for Nancy's dreams to be realised. When Chief Inspector Wake enters the scene, he uncovers a tangled web, a cynical Soho underworld, and a motive for murder.

The build up to the actual murder takes up the first half of the book. it is interesting as there is time to build up their stories rather than watching them unfold as the police investigate. I very much enjoyed the cat and mouse between the various suspects and the police which was very cleverly done. Then, suddenly, it was all over with a solution that fitted well but which felt anti climactic. The reader was occasionally a bit ponderous but did a good job with clear voices for all the characters.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
