No Love Lost

Eileen Dewhurst. Severn House Publishers, $25.99 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-7278-5816-0

A domestic skirmish takes a sinister turn in No Love Lost, the sixth Phyllida Moon mystery from British veteran Eileen Dewhurst (Death of a Stranger). When the dysfunctional Jordans Hugh and Sandra suspect each other of cheating, actress and detective Phyllida Moon dons several disguises to keep tabs on the alleged philanderers at their business meetings and community choir rehearsals in the small English town of Seaminster. Brisk dialogue and the complications of Moon's many alter egos add flair to this old-fashioned whodunit.
