An entertaining and fast paced cozy mystery.

Philip Nore, our rather vanilla protagonist, stumbles upon a recently deceased, possibly murdered, photographer's box of cryptic photos. As Nore unravels the secrets contained in the box, his own family's sad secrets come to light.

I liked it, I did not love it. There was a lot of detailed descriptions about a Jockey's life and a photographer's tasks, neither of which I'm particularly interested in. I skipped whole paragraphs of Nore in his dark room. Both the romance plot and the lost sister plot seemed to have been tacked on as an afterthought, neither of which were developed properly.

I quite enjoyed the main murder mystery, a perfect brainless summer read.
