Una specie di Philip Marlowe al femminile in una Londra gremita da lesbiche, per un intreccio accettabile, non fosse che già a metà romanzo si intuisce lo scioglimento. Mancano l'intensità e il colpo di scena.

I'm back at the beginning of the Saz Martin series finding out where Saz started (avoiding her Enterprise Allowance officer mainly). If my memory serves me correctly the storytelling here is similar to that in Beneath the Blonde which I read years back. Saz's story is interspersed with another story told in the first person that relates to what Saz is investigating but we only discover how exactly it relates as the book unfolds. The dual viewpoint means that the reader is ahead of Saz in the investigation and I think this works pretty well. It removes the possibility of over the top suspense whilst keeping the mystery.

Really don’t like the style of writing... wanted to like it but just couldn’t get my head around it and the story was all a bit far fetched. Not my bag.
