This was well-written but I grew to detest the characters of most women in the book for their smugness, prejudice, and snobbishness. The moral querulousness of the protagonist was key but also her major failing. Miss Pym Disposes is not a taut, suspenseful read. I'm glad I pushed on to complete it, but I wonder if there were a better introduction to Josephine Tey, one I'd enjoy.
