** spoiler alert **
SPOILERS AHEAD
An unusual mystery with so few suspects. Sheridan the dubious tenant in the basement flat of Mr Whipplestone’s flat, the Chubb’s,the disgusting Sanskrit brother and sister or the drunken Colonel Cockburn-Montfort and his wife.
Alleyn’s old school friend Boomer visits the UK. He is now President of an African country. An assassination attempt is made on his life and the Ambassador is mistakenly killed or is he?Troy appears to paint a portrait of Boomer and Lucy Lockett the extraordinary cat provides a few clues.
The language is a bit dated with racist overtones throughout but the setting and plot is good. The Colonel though as the murderer managed to kill both the horrible Sanskrit’s efficiently which seemed unlikely. Boomer was happy that he did not have to let his spies return to his country as they were nasty people.
