3.0

Perhaps not one of his best, mystery-wise, but for me this series is about the interplay between Milo Sturgis and Alex Delaware, and even Alex and Robin, as much as anything else, and so I enjoyed it.

Two bodies are found by the pool of a Bel Air home, an Italian playboy and his married lover.  As Milo and Alex dig into the pair they discover all is not as it seems.

I did find some of the leaps they made a little hard to believe, and also the way they were immediately trusting of some of the secondary characters, whilst equally suspicious of others from the offset.  But I'm nitpicking, a quick read and a good addition to the series
