Dated but good
A long book but if you like Golden age mysteries this could be for you. Be aware it rambles on a bit. I am reading this for a feminism and mysteries course and it certainly delves into this. It was written in tge mid 1930s so there is a lot discussion about marriage vs intellectual life, the assumption being they are mutually exclusive however I am only half way through perhaps there will some kind of resolution. The mystery so far involves poison pen letters and vandalism against a woman's college at Oxford. No murders yet but things are escalating.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
