You know, this may be a modern American writing about about times gone by in the SW of England but nonetheless it is still a good book. The writing is excellent and it is a great detective story. I will certainly read more in this series.
It is not an Agatha Christie, but believe me, it is not far short.

I quite liked this book, though I wish the main characters had a bit more complexity. I was really interested in the marriage subplot, but I thought the players' motivations could have been explained more thoroughly. Excited for the series though!

Really liked it, but I wish Milo would have been a little more grovelling at the end...
