Lots of interesting suspects in this one, and the ending left me slightly vexed, which might explain the reviews. But this author is excellent and he shows us the worlds of witness protection, family members who aren't quite sure of each other, and scurrilous characters who get drawn into investigating grisly murders. Well written as all of his are.

The British jargon & expressions were a little 0ff-putting until I got used to the culture. Writing style not very sophisticated, many typos & malapropisms. I don't think the plot was very innovative.
