"Three Stars" according to William F. Baecht. Forgetable. Christine G. said Good easy and fun read. After reading 'A Place for Execution' I sought out McDermids earlier works. This along with the rest of the Lindsay Gordon series are light, easy and fun reads.

A little more racey than Jessica. A Customer said Intriguing, but a little dense. I read this as an english person with knowledge, via the media, of the Greenham Common events upon which it as based.

Lindsay and her pals are a bit irritating. the prose is overlong and tends to lose drama
