Review - I wish Robert and Madeline would make their relationship official, as it seems to not really have developed since the second book in the series. I love the idea of death at the Derby - it echoes [b:Death at Epsom Downs|556394|Death at Epsom Downs (Kathryn Ardleigh, #7)|Robin Paige|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388204752l/556394._SY75_.jpg|525806] by [a:Robin Paige|146237|Robin Paige|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1416576596p2/146237.jpg], which I also thoroughly enjoyed. I also really like the sparring matches between Colbeck and Tallis, as Colbeck always seems to have an answer for him and Tallis's lack of a sense of sarcasm or humour is really funny to read. This is a lovely little cosy crime mystery, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series, particularly how the different relationships develop and intertwine.

I loved it. I do think the jump to the derby is a bit of a leap, but hey it's fiction!
