There’s Trouble Brewing
by Nicholas Blake (Collins Crime Club, 1937)
audiobook read by Kris Dyer (Bolinda, 2016)
The mystery is skilfully put together. Nigel Strangeways has personality (especially as voiced in Dyer’s audiobook reading), yet never really stuns with his deductions. Meantimes, he adds a jarring, rather artificial note by soliloquising at length over possible interpretations of the evidence.
