while I enjoy most of the interactions between the characters, I despair of the need to have such unpleasant, snide and unfair whinging ones who are meant to be on the same side but are just plain nasty.

relationships between the characters

I like the characters and the side stories about pooles parents and brocks wife add interest but they are too short but still I enjoyed all of them very much.

enjoyable

A mix of characters with the conflicts not overwhelming. It has minimal gore and gangster action. The plot is enough to engage the brain.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as a pleasurable change from the more graphic crime novels that I've read.

I've seen 'cosy' as descriptor and I agree with that

easy listening with humour and mystery

Lightweight as intended but engaging characters and an interesting plot. Certainly a pleasure in having light hearted and superficial badies rather than tormented villains but a likeable hero with a complicated past and intelligent and helpful colleagues

entertaining
