It's been a while since I read Farthing (also, I am behind on LJ commenting), and I am not a native mystery reader, so what was interesting to me may be old hat for the genre. With that said, I liked it for its relatively 3d characters, but I haven't reread it because it's interesting without being groundbreaking, if that makes any sense. The novel did not tweak or expand my worldview. It was entertaining, though, and sometimes one doesn't need one's worldview expanded.
