The second case of Lynley and Havers hits closer to home, for Lynley's friend Helen is among the suspects. The case in this one was hard to follow, at least for me. I couldn't keep track of all the connections between the suspects. Although I like these 'a group is secluded, one gets murdered and one of them must be the killer' stories, this one didn't catch me. But what made this one interesting were all the personal entanglements. To watch/read how jealousy and class differences lead to wrong conclusions and how the side characters have to save the day. Definitely a fun read, although not quite as captivating as the first book.
