Simon St. James and his wife Deborah are helping China River, an american friend of Deborah. China is arrested for the murder of Guy Brouard, a self made millionaire. living on the island of Guernsey. The way in which the old man was killed is mysterious enough, but the social surroundings of him, with several lovers, a former wife, a son and a sick sister make a spider web in which the St. James seem to be lost. Another book of Elizabeth George which is too long. 630 pages are at least 200 too much. I got bored and skipped several sections. The stories besides the story are not fitting. George did this much better in her earlier books. This one here is number ten of the Lynley-Havers-St. James books.
