The figure Lindsay Gordon remains alien to me and it is meaningless for me. Equally strange, I felt that the story takes place in a virtually womankind, the main protagonists are lesbians, and it is scary quacking much as the women do equally. However, they do not croak intelligent and with a lot of substance, such as Jordan Hill. By the way, I myself am a woman and I understand in itself already the need for talks, still above judgment I was allowed.
I notice in this book, as well as writing to its respective time fits, such a story, such a write could probably not sell without thorough proofreading today.
The story briefly touched: Lindsay journalist to report from fundraisers a girls' school. The events aimed to raise funds in order to get the sports grounds of the school. As a driving force emerges Lorna Smith-Couper, famous cellist, on. This knows a friend of Gordon, a teacher at this school, from their drug dealer-Jugendsünden time. Already as we know basically how it goes. Lorna is murdered, suspicion friend Gordon, Lindsay Gordon solves its first criminal case.
I give three stars because the novel is not so ignites like the Tony Hill novels, not told as intense as the detective stories by Elizabeth George, no real social study is, does not have the humor of Sue Grafton stories and otherwise not particularly refined is. Nevertheless, certainly a good start, and Val McDermid has still given us many beautiful later thrillers.
