A murder has occurred on the docks and Monk investigates this crime. All evidence points to a wife of a deceased doctor, yet Monk believes her innocent. From that point on one reads and re-reads about the evidence at the crime scene as the detectives interview people for more information. Gradually new clues come into light from these interviews and then new theories about the why/who/how of the crime are bantered among the characters as a search for the right murderer occurs. To me the repetition of the facts of the murder got tiresome. I thought just beginning authors used that method to advance the plot. The story thus builds slowly to the climax, the trial. That is when the story becomes interesting. My first Ann Perry book.
