The lord preserve me from amatuer detectives. It got a bit better by the end but it was rather clunky and not particularly enjoyable. The clues dropped like great boulders and the detectice/heroine strained credulity with her constant references to Middlemarch and obsession with plagerism.
A pleasant, well written mystery story with no really excellent things about it and no really terrible things.
