Scales of Justice is even more classist than usual. But it is also very dull. Not one of Marsh's best. ( ) A british cozy with the aftermath of WWII still looming in the background. Lots of characters, stereotypical but interesting. A romance, as usual. Marsh's descriptions of murder can be quite visceral and she does that well here. I did not follow the logic of the case against the murderer, probably because it needed a map, unavailable with the audio edition. no reviews | add a review
