It's been ages since last I read a St. Just mystery and I was delighted to read a new novel in this excellent series.
It's a solid and twisty mystery but it's also a comedy of manners and book full of sharp social remarks.
The descriptions of the life in a small Cornwall town, the tension amongst the villagers and the wealthy weekenders are worth a sociological treaty in what is happening.
This is also the first mystery that deals with the aftermath of Covid, the Great Plague, and how it impacted everyday life.
That said the author delivers a highly entertaining and riveting story, there's plenty of fun and there're some very tense scenes that kept me on the edge.
I highly recommend this series and this novel as they're an excellent example of good mystery.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
