A complete yawn. Every single character is one-dimensional. Almost every character is a spoiled rich toff. The reader never develops any empathy for the characters. Written with the dramatic flair of a Harlequin Romance novel, but less steamy. Full of improbable scenes, with character reactions suitable only for a day-time TV Soap. No doubt there is an audience for this sort of writing; fans of true mysteries and fine writing should not waste time on this book.
