An American who graduated from Oxford. I believe a few Americanism appeared in the novel. Is the word "gotten" Victorian English?

Writing was solid and the story did have a few twists. The detective was completely mystified (like this reader) until the very end although the murderer's identity was the least developed and a bit implausible. Grade C [3 stars].

Next will be some type of sci-fi presently undetermined.
