Críticas
Jumping Jenny (British Library Crime Classics) por Anthony Berkeley
A slightly subversive Golden Age murder mystery with elements of a comedy of manners that I would have found a lot more diverting if not for the fact that Anthony Berkeley clearly had Issues with Women. [It’s the kind of book where neither the male characters nor the narrative voice thinks domestic violence is anything other than a great way of keeping your wife in line. Ugh.
so well done - just as it's in danger of becoming tedious one realizes who did it - perfectly imagined
may be best prep school book I've read
wish I'd had this in book form rather than Libby - so much easier to read - but either way the last page was the funniest of any book I've read in years
