Felicity Chapman is found dead in a very downmarket hotel, which is a bit of surprise for a well-off solicitor's wife. Neville Stewart and his colleagues investigate.

In this last of the series, the various story arcs are wound up satisfactorily. But Sid Cowley's Mockney accent has been coming through more strongly as the series progresses to the point where it now gets a bit tiresome.

In Neville Stewart's latest case, a young teenager is found dead in a churchyard, stabbed through the neck. In the meantime, Callie is attending a course in Cambridge, where gossip about a lecturer's relationship with a student is swirling about.

Sometimes thematically similar incidents where you think "This isn't going to end well" fizzle out and sometimes the foreseeable results do actually ensue. It's an interesting way of keeping the uncertainty and suspense going.

Muffin, baby of celebrity couple Jodee and Chazz, died from appeared to be cot death but the autopsy shows she had been severely shaken before her death. But by whom?

Enjoyable main story but the sub-plots involved what seemed to me unlikely behaviour. I'm looking at you, Neville Stewart.

A jogger doesn't come home and his body is found drowned in the canal. A little girl runs away after being bullied by her step-cousins.

Although this is billed as the [[[Callie Anson]]] series, the books are more ensemble pieces, with Callie's colleagues, her police detective love interest, and his colleagues all taking their turns in the spotlight. Although it was only written 15 years ago, its exploration of contemporary issues makes it feel a bit dated but I still enjoyed it.
