This book works well on more than one level, juxtaposing truth and justice and offering insights into both within the framework of mystery fiction. We meet a thoroughly honourable policeman, faced with an ethical dilemma. We meet a family, full of well-meaning complexities and a son-in-law who is beyond their pale.This is an English mystery and a fairly quick read. The writer doesn't bog down on his theme, his characters are portrayed carefully and there is a happy ending, if you care for such things.This isn't great fiction but it's a competent piece of work, with more depth than usual, and it's a good read.
