Summary: On a Thursday in April 1943 Remus took the train from London to Birmingham, where a stately black car was waiting at the station to take him a short drive southwest to Hagley. In a wood on the estate of the Viscount Cobham of Hagley Hall four local boys hunting quail had found a woman’s skeleton in a wych elm tree.
Comments: Another enthralling read by fluorescentgrey. It’s a very plot driven detective story, with a brilliant noir style and WWII setting. The tone was very bleak and the world was depressingly realistic at times, but the mystery and characterizations were so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading. Everything I could want from a hardboiled detective story, and one that has kept me thinking about it long after I’ve finished.
