The Cheltenham Square Murder British Library Crime Classics edition by John Bude Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

This is the second Superintendent Meredith mystery I have read and I like this one less than the first. John Bude was a tremendously popular writer who liked to write stories set in real places. His evocation of place was one of the selling points for his works.

Here the problem is not the setting, it is that most of the text is dialogue. The characters are never quiet. We could say, perhaps, that that was the style of the day, but I did not enjoy all the noise.

I received a review copy of "The Cheltenham Square Murder: A British Library Crime Classic" by John Bude aka Ernest Carpenter Elmore (Poisoned Pen Press). It was first published in 1937 and has been reissued by Poisoned Pen Press in collaboration with the British Library.

The Cheltenham Square Murder British Library Crime Classics edition by John Bude Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

I would read this author again. Does everything right from the plot to characters . More reads like this are a must.
thoroughly enjoy this era and this book
A good whodunit read,
I love the British library mysteries. The between the wars era writers are mostly fun to read
I've generally enjoyed the novels chosen by Martin Edwards for British Library Crime Classics, but John Bude's works leave me cold, impatient, and bored. The Cheltenham Square Murder, like The Sussex Downs Murder, is a long tedious puzzle--all plot (endlessly drawn out), wooden prose, and remarkably uninteresting characters.
There's a lot to like here—interesting setting, well-drawn characters, and a clever puzzle. However there is too much padding in the form of imagining possible solutions. Each clue or plot development causes the author to reformulate possibilities that run through the minds of the investigators. Since you know these are going to turn out to be wrong and will be discarded, after one or two, it gets boring and does not move things along.
This Murder was well-written in the British tradition, if only slightly predictable. I will not reveal the plot details in case you wish to read it. I like John Bude's humor (humour, as the Brits spell), wit, and interwoven background to character, as in te villages (Cheltenham is a little bit of Cloister living; reminds one of Christie's Chipping Cleghorn, St. Mary Mead, and so forth). John Bude and the other Golden Age of Detectives are commendable for that certain mood you may be seeking, as you toddle off to bed.
I found it hard to put the book down. Police procedurals -- and this surely falls in the procedural camp -- can be tedious affairs. Not this book even though you're practically in Supt. Meredith's hip pocket, the story moved quickly. Better yet, you learned of the clues, developments, etc. just as Meredith did, including the lucky breaks in the case that Meredith received. In addition, the story is a pretty entertaining vignette of Cheltenham just before World War Two.
