Having been a little disappointed with the penultimate book (too many personages, a complicated hair) I was delighted to see that this time, we found our extraordinary Elizabeth writing. The Protagonists are confronted with problems on all fronts and without unveiling the end - one wonders how events will unroll. The plot is excellent, Lynley and Havers are back in force - and that's good! We can not wait to turn the pages ... and wait for the next!
