From AudioFile
Laura Principal, head of a private security agency in Cambridge, England, is a 40-something private investigator who is refreshingly tough and unexpectedly vulnerable to the fancies of love. Julia Sands conveys Laura's complex character convincingly as she searches for an explanation to the disappearance of a young female student at the University who was being wooed by an older, more worldly student. The past explodes in a series of jarring fragments, bringing to light the hidden sorrow of an abandoned baby, as well as the dark sides of many of the characters.

From Booklist
Anglophiles will delight in this Cambridge-based tale, which convincingly weaves the city's geography and history into its well-crafted plot. Spring thankfully avoids the bane of many mysteries set in a famous city, breaking the history into easily digestible tidbits and never sounding like a travel guide. Readers will quickly warm to protagonist Laura Principal, a private investigator who helps support the agency by taking seemingly mundane gigs like providing security for Cambridge's annual May Ball. When a female student disappears after the ball, however, the job quickly turns menacing and eventually leads to murder. Meanwhile, a handsome academic makes a play for Laura, whose relationship with boyfriend Sonny has been a little shaky of late. Spring effectively mixes plenty of humor into her realistic, hard-edged crime story; readers will find themselves chuckling frequently at Laura's wit and ironic view of the world. A good choice for fans of P. D. James' Cordelia Gray. Jenny McLarin
