This is the ninth in the engaging Fethering Mysteries series, and as usual a well filled tale. It is certainly up to the minute with its topic of Polish immigrants, and, as well as both protagonists getting entangled with a man, there is a teasing plot and plenty of satire. There are spot-on portraits of a number of stereotypes to enjoy, as well as a portrait of a ghastly pub that will have readers nodding their heads and laughing. I’ve often observed that it is difficult to have humor and a story, but Mr Brett manages it with practised ease. The plot twists and turns, bringing something new to the case to examine in nearly every chapter. I hope this series just runs and runs.
