Death of an Airman by Christopher St. John Sprigg
5.0
I received a copy of Death of an Airman from the publisher and Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
A particular delight! It is rare to find a Golden Age mystery with intriguing characters, a mystery that is a true puzzler, and a sly sense of humor; Death of an Airman provides all three in spades. The central crimes are intricately plotted and just confounding enough to keep the reader on edge while the characterizations provide a depth and interest that propels the story along - I found it to be a combination of the best type of Agatha Christie with the wit and pacing of a P.G. Wodehouse. Thoroughly enjoyable!
