Most quirky know it all lead characters tend to have a redeeming quality but this Morley person does not. The constant Latin is as annoying and confusing for the reader as it is for poor Sefton. As far as mysteries goes there is a hint of one hidden about somewhere behind the unceasing quotes, obscure references and political ideas but it never really materializes as anything interesting. I was hoping for a clever story and engaging characters but was disappointed. I continued listening largely due to the narrator who brought some life to otherwise unsympathetic characters. If you want mysteries set in the 30s with interesting historical world building with some humour I recommend the Lord Edgington series. Unless, of course, you don't enjoy the low brow ;)

Brilliant reading and exceptionally funny. But a bit slow and essentially a thin story line
