Hardcastle's Quandary by Graham Ison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

March 1927 and the police have received a letter from the Reverend Percy Stoner stating that he believes that his nephew Captain Guy Stoner has been killed. Informed that there has been a fire where Stoner works in Ditton, Divisional Detective Inspector Ernest Hardcastle and Detective Sergeant Charles Marriott are assigned the case. The character of Hardcastle is certainly of the complaining kind and I didn't really take to him, maybe it is time for him to retire. References to which were made throughout the book.
An enjoyable mystery, certainly well-written but I didn't like the main character enough to love the book.
