Comments:
For some reason, not quite the gut buster for me as his previous 3 novels in the Hitchcock Sewell series. In this one, Hitch is his usual satirical self, and attempts to piece together the pieces of a murdered nanny for an old friend who’s back in town. I think perhaps it’s Pete’s character, and his denial in facing up to the problems in his marriage that bugged me a bit more than it did in the previous book where Pete was first introduced. Beyond that however, the writing is sharp and snappy, and Hitch’s character, though he has hard time being serious about anything, manages to uncover a few secrets which have put other people’s lives in danger. I’m definitely looking forward to more Hitch!

See the BookCrossing journal page for this book for more reviews and information.
