The author subtitles her story 'A jolly murder mystery' and tells it in her unique joky style. The setting is Edinburgh during the Festival and the time is Now. There is a large cast of finely drawn characters with eccentricities which contribute to making this a hilarious entertainment. It's a worthy successor and in a way sequel to the author's 'Case Histories' (bwl 28). I thoroughly recommend it.
