Alice Where Art Thou?

I like most of the novels by Elizabeth Cadell that I've read, and this is no exception. Having said that, I would consider this one of her weaker novels. It is also quite short.

Three girls in their early 20s share a flat in London, and deal with their parents and love lives. All of their parents are stereotypes, and the girls themselves only marginally less so. Their landlord is murdered; and their main concern is that they not be called home by their parents. The murder itself is cleared up in about 20 pages at the end.

I would not recommend this to anybody who has not previously read Elizabeth Cadell. But if you have read a lot of her books, it offers the chance to spend a few pleasant hours in her world.
