From Library Journal:
With an unusually keen and sympathetic eye for character description and development, Fyfield follows Detective Chief Superintendent Geoffrey Bailey and live-in companion solicitor Helen West ( A Question of Guilt ) to the village of Branston, just outside London, where the two become enmeshed in a murder of passion that threatens their own relationship. Bailey's quest takes him from the accused lover of Helen's only local friend to the precocious daughter of the murdered woman and the "village idiot." Smartly constructed plot, strongly defined sense of place, and overall emphasis on character make this a satisfying work indeed.

From Publishers Weekly:
Solicitor Helen West and Detective Chief Superintendent Geoffrey Bailey put their newfound love on the back burner as they investigate a local murder. According to PW , "Fyfield writes a sophisticated combination of legal and police procedural."
