I raced through the audio book of this - its a whodunit within a whodunit and I felt it had enough twists and turns to keep you entertained. I certainly wanted to know who the killer(s) were! A good beach read I'd say.

Not much diversity but half of it is set in a small English village after the war, so perhaps not that surprising.

I enjoyed the narration, which is really important to me - a bad narrator is enough to put me off- and I liked the way they used two people.
