I am enjoying a series of books by Grainger featuring Norfolk Detective Sergeant DC Smith. SO decided to try the 1st book of another of his series — set in Cornwall.

BUT as much as it is very well written, I prefer the DC Smith character.

Detective Sergeant Chris Waters gets his first assignment as crime scene manager — the murder of a young woman.

The plot is rather dull as murder mysteries go. Most of this book details the people investigating the crime. Their relationships. Their motivations. The slow bureaucracy.
