      Set in the 80's this is about a newspaper reporter and is a nice observational story of how it was done before the connected age of the internet and mobile devices. There is even talk of getting a mobile, whatever the cost, to save the time spent looking for a working public phonebox. I enjoyed the story of murder, spies and conspiracies and the frustration of trying to reveal the truth. This is the first of the Lindsay Gordon series I've read, but the second book in the series. I'm sure to read more.
    • 3/5
      Second book in the Lindsay Gordon investigative journalist series and once again she has a friend to help out of a spot of bother. It seems that the head of teh opposition to the peace camp at Brownlow (read Greenham) Common has gone and got himself murdered and one of the women at the camp is chief suspect having broken his nose a few days earlier. The suspect also happens to be one of Lindsay's former lovers whom she is now back in contact with since her move to London to live with Cordelia (love interest from the 1st book). Lindsay has been trying to get positive articles printed about the peace camp and has also been trying to help out occasionally as well and so reluctantly agrees to act as a kind of intermediary between the camp and the police investigating the murder. A deal is struck with the local Inspector and Lindsay sets about trying to find the real killer.The book was written and set in the late 80's and has quickly become quite dated. It's quite easy to accustom yourself to the technology (or more specifically the lack thereof) of the time but the social mores not quite so much when the author rams the lesbian angle down the reader's throat every other chapter or so it seemed to me. The mystery element of the story was okay but seemed to be uncovered a little too easily by the protagonist with almost all suspects being too chatty for their own good. Not a bad book but not that great either but it is a quick and easy read.
    • 3/5
      Lindsay seems unable to keep out of trouble. Good story.
