This review is from: Mist Walker: An Inspector Green Mystery (Paperback)

I really like the character of Green and that he has a normal married life; solid and realistic. I enjoy the setting of Ottawa and the twists to the story. I ddi get frustrated that Green was so willing to accept each new revelation as fact, and that there were a number of lose threads left unresolved. But I did enjoy the book enough that I'll read her more recent work and hope the shortcomings have been resolved.
