Title: Slow but clever
Review: This was my first Goddard mystery, and frankly, if it had moved any slower it would have lost me. Readers looking for action should look elsewhere. The prose is pleasant but tends to be wordy. But there's a reward for sticking with it. The reward is a good four star tale well told. However, be forewarned, the number of twists invented by Goddard along the way may cause the reader to anticipate the ending. Afterwards, you are left to wonder how so many boring people could get into so much trouble.
