The Wychford Poisoning Case (Detective Club Crime Classics)

Product Information

Modern readers (and possibly forward thinking people of the time) will perhaps be a bit bemused by Sheringham's - and presumably by extension the author's - view of women, something he expounds upon in a slightly Bertie Woosterish way on several occasions. It is perhaps well meant but is at the very least a little patronising. One does understand that this was the cultural norm of the day but Berkeley does extemporise somewhat on the issue. This on its own would be no doubt not worth a mention were it not for the relationship between Alec, a married man, and his seventeen year old female cousin. Let's just say there is occasional horseplay with enforced spanking and, on at least one occasion, ripped clothing, all fully endorsed by her smiling parents. It all must have seemed very innocent and jolly to the majority of Sheringham fans at the time, although I daresay a good few of the male readers might have got a little hot under the collar.
