Really very good book. A nice little murder, Pot loads of likely suspects. Very likeable hero and heroine with a pleasant romance thrown in.
Plot: Unpleasant mans fortunately early demise
Whimsical heroine all dewy eyes
Multiple suspects - motives no surprise
Pleasantly astute detective eventually sees through lies
Characters: Hero, Heroine, irascible victim - i do find it satisfying when nasty people are bumped off, multiple secondaries of varying degrees of annoya-bility (it's a word now)
What to love: The set up is good. The murderer reasonably unexpected and the structure excellent.
What to loathe: Sometimes you don't know whether to care more about the romance or the murder. On my dumber days ( of which there are many) I get a little bit frazzled by a split focus in a story. I think it is more a me thing than a story thing
Buy, Borrow or Bin: Buy - Really very good - and worth reading again even when you know who has done it.
If this book was a drink it would be: . A glass of iced milk. I love iced milk and often crave it so this is a good thing.
