4.5

All the suspects together in one high-end condominium, and two detectives working the case. The main character, DS Gillian Gish, sees things others don’t, and figures out why certain aspects of the murder case don’t mesh the way they should. 

Very well-written, smooth and tight prose telling the story in a low key tone, nothing flamboyant. I would definitely be interested in reading more about Detective Gish.
