Good read

I was happy to find this book by Furnivall, as I own most of her other books.

As always, she has masterfully mixed crime intrigue and personal romance. Although I found the story to be a bit predictable, there were a few pleasing twists.

I noticed the comments on colonial life, and on the typical problems that older married couples faced. The idea of who has the power or authority to do as they please.
