Review: A really good romp!

This is the first in a series of murder mysteries in which the brilliantly conceived character of Verity Long acts as unofficial sleuth. Verity is the researcher for a successful crime writer and in this story she finds a body while she's looking for a house to rent. It's the body of a well known 'celebrity' who fronts a dance show. Feeling that because of this she is somehow involved, she's unable to let it go, in spite of finding herself `interested' in the senior police officer in charge of the case who want her to back off.This is a funny story and most of the humour comes from the characters and the author's own take on things. I loved the writing style, the dialogue, the interaction between characters. I started this series by reading a recent novella featuring these characters and soon realised I'd have to read the lot! It's a really good romp - with bodies!
