All She Was Worth

I don’t usually read all that many crime books (except when I do). This one was almost an impulse purchase. I’m lucky enough to work in a city which has a few decent sized department stores with reasonable selections of English language books, so I’ll spend the occasional lunch-hour seeing what’s available, and resisting the temptation to buy them all.
