Gina's doing rather well for herself. Her job is great, her flat (though small) is really rather perfect for her needs and David Scott is back in her life.
But into each life a little rain must fall and a familial crisis means that her daughter and her husband must come to live with her in her flat.
Following a spate of hate crimes post-Brexit a young Indian woman is murdered by strangulation only a few doors away from Gina's home.
David needs Gina's help with an investigation that means she has to enter the world of a chamber of barristers in Gray's Inn, a Shakespearean production (Measure for Measure) and there's the added complication of a clash with her younger (and more difficult) daughter.
Freda (now ten) is staying in Kentish countryside in the home of her grandfather and is second wife, where they live in splendid isolation.
Whilst the adults back in London are dealing with their own mysteries, Freda uncovers a mystery of her own, involving a missing canine, which she has to solve by herself.
It's an interesting novel that unravels several disparate mysteries.
Published by Matador at £8.99.
