Nobody wanted to huddle in a moldering church yard after midnight because there was nowhere else to smoke. But huddle they did. Misery loved company ad made strange bedfellows.

I think this book had a lot of potential but ultimately fell flat for me. I was really interested in the plot and I liked how these characters from different backgrounds came together to solve this mystery but it really felt rushed and incomplete. None of the mystery had enough time to be a mystery before suddenly it was solved and the story was done.
