The Man in the Wooden Hat by Jane Gardam
If you enjoyed Old Filth (bwl 29) then this is a must. In it we learn more about Filth's wife Betty and what actually happened between her and his old rival, Veneering. Gardam is a writer who subtly tells you much but leaves room for your own conclusions and I think I solved most of the puzzles, but can someone explain how Betty was raised in a Japanese internment camp during WW II yet also worked at Bletchley Park?
