This is the first of the series I've read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Edwina Crusoe is an extremely likeable and somewhat unusual sleuth--she is from a very wealthy family, drives Fiats and Volvos and wears mink coats. She's also an ex-nurse, and, far from being the typical "loner", she's happily married with two small twin sons. The characters and plot in the book are all believable and the mystery kept me guessing. Very entertaining! I will be on the lookout for other books in this series.
