Series: Thomas de Quincey Mystery #3
I jumped into this concluding novel without having read any of the earlier ones and although I didn't struggle much figuring out who was who and the characters' relationships between one another, I didn't particularly care about any of them. On the plus side, this mystery is far more intricate than some of the others I've read lately, and it purports to have the first murder on an English train.
Author isn't a woman, but I get to roll a single die anyway for the Snakes & Ladders game.
