Seven Dead

This my third Jefferson Farjeon novel, the other two being Thirteen Guest and The Z Murders, and this was a bit of a letdown. I was really enjoying it until the last 40 or 50 pages, when we had a very dreary and dull diary extract, which flew in the face of the atmosphere and breezy storytelling of the previous 200 pages. Good plot, interesting characters and a slightly disappointing denouement.
