I might have liked this one so much simply because I've spent years and years surrounded by out of touch university types (and am totally planning to become one). I must say, though, a supposedly psychic horse sounds too weird to miss!A Sign of the Crimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753757938979390225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435570733711194686.post-81406012383916812162017-08-26T00:37:25.434+01:002017-08-26T00:37:25.434+01:00Thank you for reading and if it's any comfort ...Thank you for reading and if it's any comfort I think I'm in the minority getting anything out of the book at all!A Sign of the Crimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753757938979390225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435570733711194686.post-1145225540141937752017-08-25T21:43:45.123+01:002017-08-25T21:43:45.123+01:00Great that you are doing a crime fiction blog.
I ...Great that you are doing a crime fiction blog. <br />I found this book deadly dull too, and I really don't want to be persuaded by you that I should give it another chance! There are too many other books out there that I should be reading...<br />But glad you got something out of it 2nd time round.

Having (foolishly) gone to read quite a few more of Innes' novels this is a problem I consistently had and believe me this is one of his more normal/sane/not completely ridiculous novels. The Daffodil Affair (involving a supposedly psychic horse) and Appleby on Ararat (desert island mystery)are definitely a lot weirder. <br />The only Innes novel I have loved is What Happened at Hazelwood, which is a non-Appleby country house mystery novel and is told by several narrators. Brilliant book - just wish he had written more like that! Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616800837907092489noreply@blogger.com
