While this book was longer than it needed to be, like most mysteries are, I still found it immensely entertaining. The writing is sharp, the characters intelligent and likable, and the mystery — not particularly strong, but at least somewhat unusual. The most enjoyable aspect of this book is the portrayal of friendships — there are several of them here: old, new, past, budding and ending — and I enjoyed them all.

A lovely little mystery book. Set in England but refreshingly includes more than just white people and has a nod to the classism of the era as well. While not a literary beauty, this book is a delight.
Moderate: Sexual harassment and Sexual assault
Minor: Grief
