Rating: 2 out of 5

The writing style was delightful and there were some really lovely phrases being used such as “you never know the best about men till you know the worst about them”. The stories were clever and flowed well. But I found it to be a struggle to read and did consider giving up at one point. The recurring characters were well described but didn’t come alive for me, and I didn’t have any affection for them.
I’d recommend this book to lovers of fine prose, of clever plots but not to those who want good characters and good gripping crime stories.
