The main character was absolutely horrible, a foul mouthed manhating, bickering bully, all she seemed to do was argue with and belittle her staff.

We even took a stroll down West Street where the characters from the archaeological dig lived and I told my family all about the book.I cannot decide who is the least credible character: is it Dennis, the policeman who measures villains by their moral worth, or Patrick, the lecherous, rude and bar-propping-up old man? There are more than forty two workers on the island and DCI Lesely Clark and her team have to go through all of them. Note: Zoe appears in these books as part of a storyline that’s separate from the main series storyline in the Zoe Finch books. The time of King John’s reign was a troubled one, and Corfe Castle became a refuge for an insecure monarch, as well as a convenient place to lock up political prisoners. In fact, she always found jobs where she had to do anything to do with putting together training documents, briefing notes and press releases among other writings.

The story was weak, so everything was repeated and repeated to fill the pages and all the men were useless or sex pests, and that included the police. It featured in Monarchy With David Starkey as well as dramas The Mayor Of Casterbridge, Tess Of The D'Urbervilles and Just Visiting.

But, as always, I’m writing them in a way that means there are no major spoilers if you do read this series first. She finds herself at the heart of unsolved mysteries and her natural interest in people (or rather, her nosiness) helps her to solve them.
