Stars for the Toff by John Creasey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another of the Toff series by John Creasey that will keep the reader guessing. There is a lot that happens involving all of the characters in the novel that keeps the reader trying to keep up with the mystery at hand, which also is written as being suspect throughout. There being very few options as to who might have done what, Creasy does an excellent job leaving the reader guessing and second guessing. I think this book would be far more fun trying to figure out who did it, than a reader just reading the book for fun.
Most all of the characters are well defined, with exceptions, such as Toff himself. The writing is very good, but I felt seemed a bit truncated in places. There are so many different incidents that occurs that are pretty much hit and run with little further regard. The ending also is wrapped a bit quick.
Bottom line: I recommend this book.
