Fans of Truss’s series will be delighted by the elaborately plotted misadventures of the inept police officers and the women who manipulate them. The darkly humorous story will appeal to those who enjoy crime with comic overtones.

After Between Two Evils, this sixth police procedural in Dolan’s award-winning series combines current British social issues with a step-by-step investigation. Readers of Deborah Crombie’s Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James books may want to try this carefully plotted series.
