About the Author:
Ann Granger has lived in cities all over the world, since for many years she worked for the Foreign Office and received postings to British embassies as far apart as Munich and Lusaka. She is now permanently based in Oxfordshire.
From AudioFile:
This mystery/suspense novel is one of Granger's entertaining Fran Varady series, about a part-time actress in today's multicultural London, who has a habit of wandering into murderous situations. This one centers on Fran's discovery that she has a younger half-sister, of whom she knows nothing. Fran and her best friend, an English-Indian young man named Ganesh, are soon investigating a murder that is somehow related to Fran's search for her sibling. Kim Hicks handles the varied voices beautifully; both major and minor characters are consistently distinct individuals. Scenes of chaos, panic, seemingly certain violence, and interludes of calm are all conveyed convincingly. Readers will be hooked.
