Review: Classic French from the Master, tightly knit, no room for error, a worthy adversary... A book which you will read in one stretch

Review: First published in 1943 (US title "Double Tragedy"), this was one of five inverted novels in the Inspector French series, and I consider it the best I have read. Although it features the comprehensive theorising and alibi- busting, interviewing and re-interviewing, timetabling and ticket-checking which one expects, it also uses changes of point-of-view in a most interesting way. This means the reader is not as intensely focussed on the criminal as is often the case with inverted tales, nor is there quite as much internal agonising. The criminal here is every bit as ingenious as French and a meticulous and elaborate scheme of murder and deception is the result. The structure also lends itself to more detailed depiction of the characters than is often found in Crofts' work, and again, a rather touching romance is twined in. This is one of the best in the series, with a solid plot, good characterisation, flowing style and efficient policework. My only reservation concerns the ending, which while quite nicely-written, is a somewhat contrived cliche. Recommend. However there are more typos/scannos in this edition than one would expect. 4.25 stars.
