Robert Barnard is The BEST

Robert Barnard is the best mystery writer I have ever read (and I read a lot). This book is one of his best. His prose is crisp, erudite but never pretentious. There are always many plot twists is his books. But the most AMAZING FEATURE about his mysteries is that by the time he tells you who done it, you've met so many interesting, quirky characters along the way, you don't really care who done it.
