About this listen

The distinguished industrialist, the fair girl and the aggressive young man - although Superintendent McDonald tried to avoid studying his fellow passengers, he simply couldn't help it. For him, it was difficult to adjust to being on holiday. He turned away deliberately. These people weren't his problem, he was on holiday—or so he thought.

Set against the enchanting background of post war Vienna, with its beautiful palaces and gardens, its disenchanted residents and scars of war, E.C.R. Lorac constructs a characteristic detective story, sure to puzzle and excite. This exceedingly rare mystery, first published in 1956, makes its triumphant return for the first time since its original appearance.

You might think these British Library issues of almost forgotten crime writers might be quaint or simple. This Lorac novel is not. It's a a sophisticated work with several great characters .... main as well as set piece cameos. A solid interesting plot a serious main investigator without ... thankfully ... any tiresome cliche quirks. It begins slowly giving post war Vienna descriptions but then quickens into the main mysteries structured with enough recurring dialogue to prevent confusion. The narrator is excellent with a good range of voices to colour the prose.

Very impressive mystery, seeing it was written at the end of ECR Lorac's career, which is where most writers fails, but she deliveres another masterly conducted tale. Together with Dramatic Murder, the British Library series continue to serve us real treassures from the past, but PLEASE output more books sooner, not bally two a year, dash it!
