I found this one to be a terrific read as a (classic British) farce; it's only late in the book did it become apparent that the neighbors' concern wasn't so "misplaced" as it'd seemed. Deus-ex-machina(ish) ending wrapped things up a bit *too* neatly, but Gardam is a real pro at combining the characters, setting, and plot structure into a book I really didn't want to end.
