This book differs from early entries in the series, but seeing PC Grant leave London and work on case beginning to end without diversion or distraction. 
We see the most character development yet, and see Grant at his most competent (but still a bit daft when the story calls for it).
Beverly’s untold tradecraft that runs through the book really rewards paying full attention, and comes to a head nicely at the end :)
