Many thanks to NetGalley and Vintage Anchor for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Charlotte Vassell - 4 stars!
Rupert is the perfect example of "the other half" - he lives with no rules, , no job, no budget, no worries, no thoughts to his boorish behavior. He decides to hold his 30th birthday party at the local McDonald's - but burgers aren't really on the menu. Instead, it's champaign and cocaine. When his girlfriend, Clemmie, is found dead the next day, who could have killed her? Detective Caius Beauchamp just happened to be the one who found Clemmie, so he's in charge of her case, for now. Because the other half extend into every part of life. Can Caius find her killer before her case is turned over or forgotten?
I adored Caius and can't wait to read more of his story - because this is the first of hopefully more to come. He's pining for a woman who left him and moved to France, so he has decided to change. He tries to eat right, exercise, read the right books, but you know, life interferes. This was a good "who-dun-it" made even better by Caius and his coworkers.
