It is quintessentially British, set in the rural landscape that one might encounter in Midsomer Murders. As with Midsomer, there is something rotten in the village and the finger of accusation moves from one colourful suspect to another until the conclusion.

The author quite obviously enjoyed writing this book and took great relish in creating her characters - they could be visualised quite easily, although at times I was having to juggle in my head who was doing what to who. The protagonist was my favourite character and was especially filled out, complete with a side story concerning his family life. However, as much as I enjoyed her writing of these family scenes, I did feel that they detracted a bit from the pace of the main plot and were perhaps more worthy of a novel in their own right.

I devoured the book over a rainy weekend and I would happily read more by this author. It is great to see new authors taking up the mantle and mixing it with the big boys. I wish Diana every success in her future career.
