Two books into the series, and two house parties already; it makes me wonder where the scriptwriters got their ideas for the very different TV series! But house parties and murders go together like whiskey and soda, and there are plenty of stereotypical, ghastly posh folk to be suspects and cause amusement to the reader. A linear story like this needs to be short and sweet, and this one is a model of sharp satire and sharper pacing. I yearn to meet a few more of the locals, and find out more about life in Lochdubh so I have to hope that more of this will be forthcoming. If you like this type of old fashioned cozy, updated for the modern reader, book (although due to being twenty years old this also has a period feel) you will enjoy this.
