and speaking of unreliable narrators it was fascinating to compare the story lines in "Old Filth" with "The Man in the Wooden Hat" - what a difference a point of view makes.
I really liked the character of Albert Ross (or "Loss" with his Chinese accent). Filth mentions that Betty loathed him, so that ought to be interesting, if explored.
