Another excellent English mystery

This is the sixth in a series of mysteries set in Kent, England, and featuring the detective work of Inspector Luke Thanet. In this book, when a young man is found dead in his apartment, killed with a blow from a blunt instrument, it is up to Inspector Thanet to find out who killed him, and why. Examining the comings and goings around that apartment leaves the inspector with no end of suspects. One person did this deed, but who is that person?As with the other Dorothy Simpson books I have read, this one has a fiendishly complicated plot. There's more than one mystery here, and you are drawn along, all the way to the finale trying to figure out who did it. This is another excellent English mystery, one that I highly enjoyed, and highly recommend to you!
