Story which rather cheekily concerns Oz filming one of Jardine's other book series, Bob Skinner, in Edinburgh. Implausible but an entertaining read. (

A 'star studded' rollercoaster of a murder mystery. My first Quintin Jardine book - enjoyable, lighthearted and easy to read if a bit unbelievable in places.
I would describe this as - ladlit - if there is such a thing? It hasnt inspired me to go and buy anymore Jardine books but I would read another if it fell in my lap. (

Easy to read, but instantly forgettable! (
