This review is from: New Graves at Great Norne (Perennial Mystery Library) (Paperback)

Henry Wade, member of the famous Detective Club, belongs to the small circle of upper class British writers who invented the traditional mystery. This book written in 1947 is a typical example of this genre. Small town with its firmly defined class system, everything neat and tidy till the murder and then the paint chips of the idealistic, provincial picture. The forte of these old-fashined books is a puzzle and fairly distributed clues. The weakness are, almost always poorly sketched characters, hard to distinguish one from another.
"New Graves at Great Norne" is a delightful old mystery that I read with immense pleasure. I'll have to dig up more of this treasures from my vast collection.
