Almost had to stop reading it for the constant use of the term “dago”. Otherwise, not bad and even a little bit fun in the last third or so, but not before a fair bit of tedium. I was hoping for something closer to Sayers and this is not it. Inspector Grant might've had a wee bit more personality, though hopefully in later novels Tey was able to develop him further.
