In print, detective Vera Stanhope is a whole lot more likeable than she probably would be in person. We see her in her vulnerable, private moments, not just when she is bullying her staff or trying to trick suspects into talking with her.
The book's plot involves an inn full of writers, and having been around hundreds of writers over the years, it didn't ring true to me that this batch were uniformly loud, noisy and showoffy.
Nevertheless, it's an excellent read, well crafted.
