My Opinion: This author came to my attention as a book club selection for September, 2015. I found it somewhat difficult to stick to because of my unfamiliarity with British words and slang. The plot was many fold with at least 8 different mysteries to unravel. Not sure if I will read more of his work but this one was interesting.
