Engaging storytelling, and relatable pair of DCI & DS. Good portrayal of WWII London without getting into details that are becoming a bit cliché,they're getting so much use.
The case was so-so. It was fairly obvious Pat Riley had done most of the deed from the time his henchmen tried to do Rosa in. I liked that this fact was equally obvious to Coburg, only he lacked the evidence to do anything about it.
Also, Rosa is a BAMF, pretty much. Girl power!
Will be reading more from this author!

I really want to like Freeman Wills Crofts' books, because the guy always has good premises, and interesting cases. BUT. It's so difficult to get into it when reading him, the prose drags. It doesn't help that I can't relate to French very well,either.
