Barring the fact that all the suspects were a little too calm and collected in hindsight, this was an exemplary mystery. With the effective use of the sins of the past revisiting and causing the deaths of not one but two people, it got my attention as soon as I realized the plot hinged on not what one suspect may have done but what all the suspects did together. One body because he or she had a thought to come clean all the many decades later. The other body because he or she realized body number one may have died under unusual circumstances. And it all gets tied off in a neat bow.
The part about Duncan’s son is intriguing as well and bodes well for the direction of the series. It’s just enough personal development to be palatable.

This is the most serious of the books so far - you really felt the pain and sadness of losing the victim. I didn't care for the 1960s free love subplot. 3.5 stars.
