A New Old Whodunit

The Willow King mysteries of Natasha Cooper are of an old style that had been modernized. There is little explicit violence; all sex is tasteful, but the plots and characterization is modern. I was reminded somewhat of P.D. James.Willow King leads a double life -- bureaucrat in a fictional British government bureau -- Department of Old Age Pensions and as a writer of romance novels. This twist of personalities helps to make the story interesting.The characterizations and the evoking of a keen sense of place were highlights for me. The actual plot, though interesting, is not particularly unusual, although there was a very interesting twist in the end that I should have seen coming, but didn't.
