This was my first introduction to the Rafferty and Llewellyn series by the author and I enjoyed the way the author has shaped these two main characters. There is a realism between the two partners that serves the story well with enough differences between the two that they play well off one another. The partners are somewhat like Neil Simon's characters in the Odd Couple. Llewellyn is the plodding, methodical investigator while Rafferty is the mercurial one of the two and more inclined to discover facts through aflash of insight. To me Death Dues is an old time traditional British mystery story with the main characters folowing proper police procedures to solve the puzzle. The British slang and idioms used adds realism to the story background. I was given a copy ofDeath Dues through Story Cartel, in exchange for an honest review. It was worth the read and recommended.
