Whatever it was I expected it wasn’t this. It was like a monologue by Barbara Windsor. I’ve a confession to make… I was so bored with the book I stopped at chapter 40 and jumped to 60. What had happened was so unbelievable I just had to see how the author intended to end the book. This too was unbelievable. I’ve never come across a crime book like this before and I hope I never do again.
