An enjoyable enough read. However, I'm not sure I see why the casual derogatory comments about Vera's weight. They didn't seem to do anything other than conform to usual stereotypes. They don't add anything to the story or to the character development in any positive way. Just made me think of the casual racism that sometimes pops into Agatha Christie's books which I'm sure wasn't the authors intention.

Solid entry in the Vera Stanhope series. Interesting development of the character Holly.

Enjoyable and intricate plot with lots of possible ways it could go and neatly didn’t. Interesting range of characters too
