Description
Angela Morgan is a partner in prominent firm of political lobbyists and engaged to be married to a prominent Treasury Minister. She is also missing.... Some very poisonous poison-pen letters and a disputed legacy complicate the case when Angela is found very, very dead. Detective Inspector John McLeish, whose love life with Francesca Wilson is under strain, is called in to negotiate the undercurrents of Whitehall and the back-stabbing of the boardroom. To make sense of the situation, both show more McLeish and Francesca take inspiration from the maxim: Start with the balance sheet. That's where the bodies are show lessTags

Probably my own fault for joining mid-series but I felt this spent too much time on the character's personal lives. But it was all really well and sharply observed.
I liked this book better the first time I read it. On this occasion I felt the personal stuff got in the way of the plot.
