comment on setting

The novel is set in London, England. The novel begins in Kent, a countryside county outside of the main city. However, the bulk of the novel takes place in the city because this is where the victim and the suspects all made their lives. The investigators will spend the bulk of the novel moving throughout the various areas of London, going from the rich neighborhood where Miriam Whitelaw lives to the poorer area where the Fleming family has lived for most of their lives. The novel also goes to the fascinating area of Little Venice where Olivia Whitelaw lives with Chris Faraday among the writers and artist who live on the surrounding barges.
