For Mirabelle Bevan the attentions of a handsome police doctor are welcome after her heartbreak at the betrayal by Inspector McGregor. The fact that she comes into contact with this doctor after she discovers a dead body are nothing. the body is that of a local priest and Mirabelle becomes suspicious at the actions of the nurses at a local convalescent home. When one nurse disappears and another kills herself Mirabelle has to find the links between organised crime, an upmarket brothel and the home for Tb sufferers.
Set in Brighton in the 1950s this is another in an excellent series by Sheridan. I like the fact that Mirabelle is middle-aged woman with a bit of a past and Sheridan uses this to help explore taboo areas. In this the subjects of abortion and racial discrimination come to the fore as well as police corruption and the plot is tight and clever.

It's the first book i read in this series and I'm happy I requested it because it's engaging and entertaining.
I liked the plot, the well written characters and the setting.
The cast of characters is interesting even if they're not always likable, the setting is lovely and I liked the descriptions.
The mystery was ok, no plot hole, and it kept me guessing till the end.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
