A review by vsbedford
The Cheltenham Square Murder by John Bude

3.0

A solid, closed group mystery that is mostly peopled with grumps and no-goods; which, in itself, is a nice change. The mystery and its conclusion is a real, "Whaaaaa?" and the author seems to know it, wrapping up any loose ends in a short chapter with an explanation that deserves a hard, squinty-eyed sweep of disapproval. But the writing is brisk, as per usual with Mr. Bude's novels, and gave me an entertaining few nights of reading. A recommend.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
