From the back cover
Jerusalem Lane is a little piece of Dickensian London untouched by development, its inhabitants mainly refugees from pre-war central Europe. But could elderly Meredith Winterbottom really have been killed for the politics of another age?
AS DS Kolla and DCI Brock delve into the lane's eccentric melting pot, past and present interlink in unexpected ways. What connects Mrs Rosenfeld and Adam Kowalski to a smooth property developer and an American academic? And what is Meredith's son Terry up to? Not to mention the dottily Marxist sisters...Could this be a recipe for murder?
****************************
I had never heard of this series but am now pondering whether or not I should buy more. It was surprisingly good! The story was extremely well-written and tight. I was kept in the dark for much of the book. And, I wanted to go and visit the actual street before the development plan was carried out.
NOTE: Background to why the sisters are called the Marx sisters when meredith's last name was Winterbottom is also quite fascinating.
