Other than one DCI’s intrusive, inappropriate fascination with his coworker’s short skirts, this was a good installment. (Why in the world do women write things this way?)

Anywho…

This series is pretty steady. Are there usually one or two interpersonal things like the above that irritate? Yes. But, the stories are well drawn and told from multiple POVs. Here, I thought I was onto who was the villain but it was a little more nuanced than one big bad, which I appreciated. 

Now…I wouldn’t invite Duncan and Gemma to visit me, but that is just the Murder, She Wrote of a series that doesn’t want to just keep the mysteries related to the day jobs of these two for some reason. Shouldn’t be a surprise since the very first book was not a crime that Duncan was assigned at Scotland Yard but one that happened while he was on vacation.
