4.0

I got stuck about two thirds of the way through this book. But when I returned to it, it moved very quickly. 

The main setting is a country house at the height of summer, with people coming and going from the London theatre world. The atmosphere is stifled and oppressive. Campion gets emotionally involved and tries to pull back from the investigation.
