This was much discussed on an email group I joined, way way back when it was first written, and that's what made me pick it up back then. It didn't disappoint me the second time around. It's really good, the fifth in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series and better than any of the previous. Kincaid's ex-wife contacts him - she is writing a biography of a famous poet, deceased 5 years past, and thinks now the woman did not commit suicide but was murdered. But who would listen? Kincaid is reluctant, but agrees to ask around. It's hard going without an official Scotland Yard investigation to back him up. And then...but that would be telling. I loved the depth and emotion in this book, great characters, good dialogue, well worth reading. A new reader could easily start here - I did, way back when, and didn't feel like I had missed much of the character's lives.
