Neat little whodunnit. I had sort of guessed who the culprit was before the end but it was an enjoyable enough read.
Although some individual bits of nice writing, nothing exciting here, especially Inspector Dalgleish.
Rather stolid and but I was intrigued by the structure. I've read her before, but only sporadically over the years, so it'll be interesting to see how her style unfolds.
