All is not what it seems at the respectable firm Wainwright Enterprises. When the managing director Arthur Wainwright dies in a suspicious accident, his last will throws the business and family into turmoil. The familys inheritance leads to a web of corruption, and the only person who can untangle the mystery is D.C.I. Andrew Fenwick.

The back cover describes this as an edge-of-your-seat thriller...mmmm...well IMHO it was far too slow a tale to be described thus. Don't get me wrong, its a good tale with plenty of twists & turns & the characters were right enough but with the bulk of the story featuring the Wainwright family, the police investigation side seemed sadly lacking. I don't have a problem with this in a crime novel, after all there's no set formula which says what percentage has to be about police proceedure but in this case the emphasis on the family felt like padding & made the book overly long. By the end, rather a slip-shod one I felt, my interest was waning.
