Probably my favourite Spector so far. SO MANY of the characters needed killing, and almost all the ones who needed killing were indeed killed. The multi-layered murdering was well plotted and it didn't hurt that I picked a couple of key clues - the first was one that had me say "you mean Body line" 😉
I did not, of course, work out whodunit but the ride was quite literally bloody great fun. It gets 5/5 for entertainment value, and for introducing me to a famous coroner I'd never heard of before. His appearance in the book was so brief I wondered if it was edited. I kind of hope it was, because then it would be a Braxton Hicks contraction. #TooEasy #SorryNotSorry
REALLY looking forward to Spector's next investigation.
