You know, it’s funny, FictionFan. There aren’t that many social worker protagonists in the crime fiction I’ve read. But it seems to me that they’d be in a good position to be sleuths. I’ll have to think about that… As for this one, Stella Hardy is a solid character. She’s hardly perfect, and she does have her past. But she’s not the stereotypical ‘demon-haunted detective who can’t function.’ I like her for that.

Thanks for the reminder of this one, Margot. It’s buried on the pile somewhere (like a lot of good things)!

I hope you’ll get to it at some point, Col. It’s got some solid characters and I lie the wit in it. If you do read it, I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Sounds interesting. I can’t remember reading a book with a social worker as ‘tec before… 🤔
