Written on Sep 7, 2020
This solid procedural has an interesting starting point but the ending packs no surprises.
Read my full review at Mysteries Ahoy!
It was meant to be a fool-proof scheme. The victim was a recluse, cut off from the world after the death of his wife. Nobody would think it strange when they didn't see him. Nobody would make enquiries.Yet even the most meticulous of criminals can be caught out, especially if they don't leave room for human error. When a runaway bank clerk sets of a chain of investigation that grows to overwhelming proportions, Littlejohn is called in to handle the situation and the death of Finloe Oates is uncovered.
Murder, impersonation, disappearance, forgery, and embezzlement. Drawn into the bizarre world of the reclusive Finloe, Littlejohn and Cromwell find themselves with more than one mystery to unravel - but will they be able to find the elusive killer?
Death in Dark Glasses is the third title in Agora's Inspector Littlejohn Mysteries.
About Inspector Littlejohn
Inspector Thomas Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is a shrewd yet courteous sleuth who splits his time between quaint English villages, the scenic Isle of Man and French Provinces. With a sharp tongue and a dry sense of humour, Littlejohn approaches his work with poise and confidence, shifting through red-herrings and solving even the most perplexing of cases.
