Very well-plotted and credible

I found this slightly hard to follow (in terms of keeping track of who is who) and there was a loose end or two left once it was over, but it was surprisingly good for something written in 1965 (multiply the money values by about a hundred to get modern equivalents). [@Debsw, thank you for all of your reviews, they're helpful.]

A real classic

This is one of the best detective dramas I have heard. Not dated at all and a real gem.
