Our detective takes his fiancée for a Cornwall vacation and bumps headlong into a murder. Of course he must join the investigation. There is some nice Cornish ambiance, but it just doesn't get going very fast. Then it takes fifty pages to explain the denouement. Unless you have a hunger for smuggler's caves, poisonous fish, and overwrought endings, I would give it a pass.
Thomasina in Tom Stoppard's mind bending time warping play, ARCADIA, observes that when you stir raspberry jam into vanilla pudding it will first swirl in streaks but ultimately will turn the entire pudding pink. If you stir the pudding in the opposite direction, the jam will not separate back out again. --LIFE MOVES ONLY FORWARD--NEVER BACK!--
