Welcome back, Nigel Strangeways: The Worm of Death

A Nigel Strangeways Mystery

by Nicholas Blake

The pseudonym Nicholas Blake was used by the poet Cecil Day-Lewis for the mysteries that he wrote. I read all of his Nigel Strangeways mysteries many years ago and was very excited when the titles began to be re-issued. In the past, I especially enjoyed the relationships between Nigel and the women in his life, Georgia and Clare. In this book, readers find Clare.

The mystery itself centers on Dr. Piers Loudon and his family. What happened to him? Was a family member responsible? How will Nigel resolve the case?

As noted, this title is part of an older series but I do think that it is worth a read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.
