    This is the second in the re-issue of this series of DI Hillary Greene. A student, Eva Gerainte of St. Anselm's college, has been found dead under suspicious circumstances.. So Greene leads her team in the investigation of leading to some surprising finds in the life of Eva, but did any of these lead to her death.
    An enjoyable easy to read, well-written mystery. I am getting to like the mix of the characters..
    I hope to read the next in the series

    England, law-enforcement, murder-investigation*****I've read later books in this series and I can honestly tell you that they are are absolutely impressive as stand-alones. I decided to go back to the beginning so I could see how the DI Greene grew and developed her native skills and I am glad that I did. She is gifted with several rare talents: (un)common sense, and acute observation. This is a very tricky assignment full of misdirection, plot twists, and red herrings, but it is so worth it!Gemma Dawson gives a fine audio interpretation as narrator.

    The ending was great; the beginning filled with all sorts of suspects. But the middle stretched on forever. Second book syndrome? Martin could have done better introducing the back story of her husband, their home, and the narrowboat. Hopefully some of the rough edges will be sanded down. But still, I enjoyed it enough to order book #3....

    Hillary investigates the death of Eva, a French student, and flirts with the idea of cashing in her dead husband's ill-gotten gains, currently lying in a Cayman Islands bank account.I found the confusion about St Anselm's (where Eva was studying) a terrible distraction for much of this book. For the record, despite the title, it is not part of the university. It is described as a sort of school with a principal and teachers and scholarship students. Eva is there for a year to improve her English and plans to become a fashion designer. Then again it is a college with tutors and a JCR, and the cleaning staff are called scouts. It was very annoying to me.I also noted (as in the first book) the way Hillary has to obsess about her weight while all the male detectives are very attracted to her. SPOILERAlso, would a "high end" call girl really operate out of a bedsit in Botley? Would she really make much money out of six clients?The solution to the murder, while it held together well, was a bit of an anticlimax - somehow not as interesting as I was expecting.
