The second in the Hampstead Murders series opens with a sudden
death at an iconic local venue, which some of the team believe may
be connected with an unsolved murder featuring Cold War betrayals
worthy of George Smiley. It soon emerges that none other than
Agatha Christie herself may be the key witness who is able to
provide the missing link. As with its bestselling predecessor,
Death in Profile, the book develops the lives and loves of the team
at 'Hampstead Nick'. While the next phase of a complicated love
triangle plays itself out, the protagonists, struggling to crack
not one but two apparently insoluble murders, face issues of
national security in working alongside Special Branch. On one level
a classic whodunit, this quirky and intelligent read harks back not
only to the world of Agatha Christie, but also to the Cold War
thrillers of John Le Carre, making it a worthy successor to Death
in Profile which was dubbed 'a love letter to the detective novel'.
