This is Fran Varady’s fourth adventure and she finds herself homeless again. She does however seem to have found some long lost family. This was a really enjoyable read.

This book is full of the type of background detail that moves a character from being a description on a page to a fully fledged series character. Without giving the plot away the result of what happens in this book is that Fran is left in a situation which could put her investigatory talents on at least a semi professional basis which is a good thing for an ongoing series. There’re only so many dead bodies a character can come across before it gets better from the readers point of view that there is a good reason for it to happen. This feels like a turning point in the series for me, I can see Fran lasting a long time, I hope she does.
