It's a mixture of murder, psychological/psychic investigator and detailed descriptions of fashion and society in England of 1930s. Right at the time when everything in England had changed after the first War, society was in upheaval, fewer people were going into service (domestic) and there were deep emotional wounds left over from things that happened 1914-1919. The motive for the murders in this book are actually believable, which is a nice change from "crazy person goes off on killing spree because of the CRAZY." <br/> <br/>I liked the book and will be looking for others from the author. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/118177?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
