Someone from the Past Reviews
-
This book won best novel award from the Crime Writers Association in Britain in 1958. It felt like I was reading something from the 1930s. A first person narrative, the protagonist, Nancy snaps out self-deprecating observations like: "He had a habit of looking at me as if he was wondering about my chances of winning the 3.15 at Hurst Park". This snappy writing help make up for a pretty unlikely plot.
