A Question of Proof | Nicholas Blake

3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

In the first book in the Nigel Strangeways classic crime series an obnoxious schoolboy is found dead at his school Sports Day; can amateur detective Nigel Strangeways help find the killer? The annual Sports Day at respected public school, Sudeley Hall, ends in tragedy when the headmaster's obnoxious nephew is found strangled in a haystack. The boy was despised by staff and students alike but English master Michael Evans, who was seen sharing a kiss with the headmaster's beautiful young wife earlier that day, soon becomes a prime suspect for the murder. Luckily, his friend Nigel Strangeways, nephew to the Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard, is on hand to help investigate the case. A Question of Proof is the first Nigel Strangeways Mystery and is the perfect introduction to this most charming and erudite detective from the Golden Age of crime writing.

A Question of Proof | Nicholas Blake

so-so

I've been working away on my #BookSpinBingo! And the other day I finished the #DoubleSpin, Blind Tiger, which was a fun read.

Today though I was reading A Question of Proof. It started off pretty slow and unremarkable, but I apparently got into it, because I read most of it this evening.

I don't know if I'd recommend it as such; there was some quite good writing, but I wasn't a huge fan of the detective.

A couple more books from my advent calendar. I've actually known about only two of the authors so far, so this has been eye opening!

A wee #bookhaul today from a local used/remainders store. So pleased to find these at bargain prices; they're crime/mystery authors I've been meaning to check out for awhile now.
