A very fun entry in the series that has me hoping there's more Jenny Starling coming.
The mystery pace was well done. The characters arrived on the scene quickly enough, the murder victim was perfectly off-putting and the murder itself was cleverly done. I only had a quibble about one half of the couple from the United States. Min did not use phrases an American would use (she used distinctly British ones) and it threw me out of the story in those instances. Still, this was a minor thing in an otherwise enjoyable read. There was also a good amount of wit even down to the last lines.
Recommended.
