When Great Barwick’s most unpopular person, Henry Cargate, dies on a train, probably murdered, no-one seems concerned. But to the police it must be investigated. So who of the possible suspects is on trial I did find Prosecutor Blayton part of the narrative somewhat turgid and made the story drag at that point but it did pick up. Overall an enjoyable read.

HTML: Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "This droll and inventive golden age mystery, first published in 1938, from Hull (1896-1973) offers a courtroom-based whodunit with a twist." â??Publishers Weekly STARRED review 'From the point of view of the nation, it's a good thing that he died.' Great Barwick's least popular man is murdered on a train. Twelve jurors sit in court. Four suspects are identifiedâ??but which of them is on trial? This novel has all the makings of a classic murder mystery, but with a twist: as Attorney-General Anstruther Blayton leads the court through prosecution and defence, Inspector Fenby carries out his investigation. All this occurs while the identity of the figure in the dock is kept tantalisingly out of reach. Excellent Intentions is a classic crime novel laced with irreverent wit, first published in 1938 Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

this title won attention for not disclosing the identity of the accused until end of story; epilogue in which judge realized his tactics to provide space for an appeal was brilliant ( )
