I am a fan of English mysteries and I thoroughly enjoyed it. suspenseful to the end. Liked the character presentation.
While reading it I kept thinking I know this story. Had I seen it on TV? So I wasn’t terribly enamored of it. It was OK
good book
Great story
I enjoyed the plot, it kept me guessing who the killer could be. Unfortunately the main male character was a bumbling idiot.
I have not finished the book yet but I look forward to picking it up every evening. It is a comfortable read so far
