Critiques
The Silk Stocking Murders par Anthony Berkeley
I enjoyed it thoroughly until I got hit over the head by the 'hero characters' clear and spoken antisemitism. The tragedy is that there was no push back against the antisemitism in the story which shows that this attitude was not shocking to at least a majority of the readers.
A group of crime writers undertake to solve a cold case. Each comes up with a solution in turn so, in effect, the one story becomes ten. It is entertaining enough to read yourself to sleep with.
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
