Death in Summer is the first book in a crime series based in Switzerland and it is a well written and interesting story.
It starts with the shooting of a man on a golf course and then there are a number of twists and turns and some red herrings until a final twist or three at the end.
The book has a pace of its own which isn't high adrenaline or 100 miles an hour but it does suit the style and location of the story.
The main characters are well formed and interesting but do leave scope to be developed further in future books.
It took me a while to get used to the style of writing by the author, Michael Theurillat, but it is worth sticking at as this is a good read and I look forward to future books in the series.
