Review of 'Whose body?' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This was originally on my TBR so I could participate in a virtual book discussion via my library. I cancelled my spot because I needed the time to read the new behemoth Jimmy Carter bio (which I didn't enjoy). I'm really kicking myself now, because it would have been cool to get others' take on this very dated (but apparently still-loved) mystery. I found it hard to enjoy, in no small part because of its anti-Semitism, among other irritants.
