I read a lot of crime fiction and I was quietly ready to be disappointed. The plot held. The clues were fair, the red herring was elegant and the reveal didn't cheat. Whoever writes these actually knows the form.
Six weeks of planning behind her back and the first she knew was a stranger handing her an envelope at the table. The team coordinated with the restaurant directly so I didn't have to lie more than once. Flawless.
For his seventieth. I sent them a page of family detail and they came back with a case built around a fictional version of his old firm. He worked out the ending, of course, because he always does, but he was visibly moved that anyone had gone to that trouble. My mother cried. Worth every zloty, euro, whatever you're paying in.
