Great read

I really enjoyed everything about this book. A fairly gruesome murder but without the unnecessarily gory details many books have. Good characters whose personalities are built up throughout the book. A good collection of unsavoury suspects. Unfortunately, I can’t find any more books by this author. Are there more?
