This was a compulsive escape when I needed one! More twists and turns in the plot than a maze of country lanes, and I don't know whether Lesley Cookman's on the payroll of the Kent Tourist Board, but if not she should be! Deft, evocative descriptions that never once get in the way of the action -a waft of that lovely, English-seasidy smell took me right back. Long weekend looking for Coastguard Cottage etc. now high on the list. As for Libby and mates, it's not often you find such an instantly likeable set of characters. Long may they sup their bevvies together while Libby ferrets out more dastardly Kentish murders.
