Book starts with a mystery but it’s the characters that keep you reading. I wondered what they were doing while I wasn’t reading the book! Really loved the dialogue and the pace of the story. Female lead is a bit of a love / hate figure, which I enjoyed. If you live in London (or just like the city!) then you'll love all the references to places you know. Highly recommend reading this one!
