Barely 3*. It is not Mrs. Marsh best book in the Inspector Alleyn Series. There are also too many coincidences to make the story believable. I found the child kidnaping completely ridiculous in its treatment. There were many hilarious pearls buried in this book and the finale takes the prize, hence the 3*.
