Honestly, I must say I did not enjoy this story. I felt there were too many characters and I kept losing who was doing what and why. Now I do love Ferrars' Professor Basnett series and his piece of cheese for breakfast in the morning. But some of her stand-alone mysteries are not up to par for me. For good stand-alone mysteries, I recommend Margaret Yorke. I will continue to read more books by Ferrars but will try to select those that can keep my interest better than this one did. All I can say was I was glad to see the book to its end.
