Winfred reviewed Foul Play Suspected by John Wyndham
None
3 stars
I would actually give this a 3 1/2 if it were possible. The book is well-written, with some nice characters and a reasonable plot-line. Halfway the book turns grim, and the heroine, who was active and investigative in the first half of the book, turns into a damsel in distress which I find a pity. The book has bleaker and more outspoken political views than many of its contemporary golden age thrillers/detectives. I read somewhere Wyndham wrote two more thrillers which remain unpublished, and although they may not be the absolute highest quality thrillers (he excelled in another genre) it would be nice to have a glance at these..
