Death in High Heels by Christianna Brand

3.0

I read this as I had never read a Christianna Brand mystery, and this was the first one she wrote. I liked it - though the detective in charge of the case was a little annoying: he has the quirk of falling easily in and out of love with attractive women, and it is a bit taxing. Also, the story does fall down in the rankings in the "stuck in its time" area, especially around gay men. She wrote it after working in a shop, so the setting and shop characters all seem very real. Will probably try another of hers.
