A mystery that is complicated

(4 Sterne)

After listening to at least 1/3 of the book, I was not sure why the summary referred to an English man as a main character. Finally, he appears and the book became more interesting. The plot was good but I would have preferred that I knew why all the background information was given. I almost gave up on the book. As I said, once McBean came onto the scene, the pace increased and it was fun to listen to. The various readers all did a decent job.
