What could have been a passable miscarriage of justice story is swamped by romantic nonsense involving two Bright (and unbearable) Young Things.

Things improved considerably with the appearance of Miss Silver, and I hoped, briefly, that the focus would shift from obnoxious Hilary and her idiotic beau Henry -- but no.

Didn't help that an already slim story was padded out by characters telling each other, in excruciating detail, every plot development that was described (in excruciating detail) in previous scenes ... The final 30 pages or so are an agony of repetition, in which we get a false confession (verbatim), a true confession (verbatim), and a blow by blow recap of what actually happened (just in case you had lost the will to live, and weren't paying attention)...

Not a writer I have any desire to try again.
