I'm trying, but not succeeding, to get into the flow. It all seems too purposefully cutely eccentric. Armstrong the child of circus performers; Lady Hardcastle nearly murdered in the Orient. They are both witty and sophisticated and have a friendship that is deep and unique. In other words, it crosses all the t's and dots all the i's of an Oprey book, a women's reading club selection, etc. Too cute for me.
The plot thickens: Second murder--Trumpet player dead, trumpet case missing. This murder occurs at the Senden party. The Senden firm is the victim of an embezzler, but Mr. Senden doesn't want to hear about it . . . one of his family is the embezzler? Jewels stolen from the Senden's by members of the band. Inspector, with lots of help from Lady Hardcastle and Flo Armstrong, discovers the robberies but still doesn't have the connection of the robberies to the murders to the embezzling.
