3.0 out of 5 stars
B+ British mystery with character study,
By
This review is from: Alibi in Time (Paperback)
Unlike Agatha, there is insight into the mundane psychology of characters as well as their motivations. Thomson writes a relatively standard plot, and gives it surprisingly normal characters, and then goes to work making murder seem as commonplace as it is. Unfortunately for American readers, it isn't very dramatic, and unfortunately for British readers, there's not enough placement of silly objects and incriminating statements to really keep a gin-soaked mind chewing away at the "clews." Yet I found Ms. Thomson's writing to be honest and brave in its exploration of the human side of murder. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes British-style murder mysteries.
