A Shot in the Dark (Constable Twitten, #1)
ByPublisher Description
After the notorious 'Middle Street Massacre' of 1951, when the majority of Brighton's criminals wiped one another out in a vicious battle as the local police force enjoyed a brief stop en route for an ice cream, Inspector Steine rather enjoys life as a policeman. No criminals, no crime, no stress. He just wishes Sergeant Brunswick would stop insisting that perhaps not everyevery criminal was wiped out that fateful day.
So it's really rather annoying when an ambitious – not to mention irritating – new Constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it's even moremore annoying when, after Constable Twitten is despatched to the theatre for the night, he sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead part way through the opening night of a new play.
It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all…

“the writing style wasn’t for me and the plot was all over the place which (again) wasn’t for me”
“While the plot twist revealing Mrs. Groynes was a genuine highlight, the rest of the story unfortunately didn't land for me. I found the characters somewhat irritating, which made it difficult to truly immerse myself in their journey or care about their stakes. The writing style also felt a bit clunky, making it hard to get into a good reading flow, and I was left frustrated by the ending. I really just wanted to see her get caught! Overall, it was an okay read for the mystery, but the execution and the unsatisfying conclusion left me wanting more👀”
