This is a solid whodunnit with an endearing investigator in the guise of Jemima Shore. It is well written, except for a slightly clunky style device to hide the identity of one of the characters. Quite a bold decision from the writer but it doesn't quite work. Otherwise an excellent read and I will certainly be trying others in the series.
