Okay, yet another misunderstood loner detective catching the bad guy with Sherlock Holmes precision, or at least that's what I assumed this book would be when I started it. But No. Oh, No. This book has more twists and turns than the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. At first the reader is not sure that a crime has been committed at all. And then comes a real crime. Or is this too an accident. And at last a real 'real crime'. No, I guess this is a suicide. And then? well on the face of it we are dealing with an English upper middle class community that would not appear amiss in a Miss Marple mystery or a Hercule Poirot story. But lift up the lid and look inside and you find such immoral goings on...murder, lust, jealousy, incest, adultery, envy, drug dealing and greed...that would make the Law & Order Special Victims Unit blush.

This is not the perfect mystery. It is not a good mystery. It is somewhere in between...a bloody good mystery.
