Date: Apr. 9th, 2022 07:23 pm (UTC)Very disappointing, right? It would be much nicer if Denzil and Hilary went abroad together at the end of the book, and Chloe (who deserves *way* better) decided that she prefers to spend time with Hilary's sister, who is very nice and sensible! There, I've fixed it! XD
I also think that this novel isn't Broster's best, but the change of setting makes it interesting... it's fun to see those mentions of rugby matches and trains and telephones! XD Oh, and "Child Royal" is different too, but I liked it much better--it's one of my favourites by Broster so far. I hope you like it, too!
Oh, and if you ever want a mystery with significant levels of slashiness, to make up for this one, I recommend "The Red House mystery", by A. A. Milne. If you haven't read it already, I think it sounds like your kind of thing!
