In my mind, this is what pulp fiction is. It's well-written and well enough plotted. I enjoyed how laughably wedged in and unnecessary the romance was. There were also some insightful snippets of the female perspective which I wasn't expecting but of course welcomed. If only Persephone Crime existed... No grey covers allowed though, bring back the illustrated painting covers.
Aside: the older I get, the more I find that the real fiction in books is often the impossible combination between the characters' jobs and their lifestyle. An English biographer being able to support a brood of children in foreign country on this single income? And then all these grown-up children open up an amateur mosaic-making studio that receives enough commissions to make a living? Oh books, never change.
