Summary
The tarot talks...but is anyone listening?
In the heart of Southwest London, just a short stroll from the Thames, lies a single row of cottages. Residents may come and go, but they all have one thing in common: Tinderbox Lane - small, enclosed, unknown to any iPhone or supermarket delivery van - is the place they call home.
Foremost among the residents is Dolly Greene: divorced and permanently broke, she shares her tiny house with her 21-year-old daughter, Pippa, who can't afford to leave. Aside from Pippa the other constant in Dolly's life is her tarot business, and when Dolly reads the cards for the magnificently voluptuous and highly sexed Nikki on a stiflingly hot summer's day, her tarot patter is interrupted by a sudden vision - a flash of Nikki's face covered in blood and bruises. Death hangs over her, but there is an etiquette to reading tarot, and Dolly will not talk of murder to her client.
A few days later, when the body of a battered woman is washed up by Chiswick Bridge, Dolly is haunted by the belief that Nikki's time may have come up...but can she be sure? How far is Dolly prepared to go to act on her intuition? And will Sergeant Raff Williams, the officer assigned to investigate the murder, think Dolly's hunch insane?

relaxing and fun
What other book might you compare The Prime of Ms Dolly Greene to, and why?
The story is a social dilemma / psychological mystery, somewhat like the Alexander McCall Smith books, but the writing is in a different style.
Any additional comments?
I googled for "uplifting murder mystery" and found this. It absolutely fit the bill and I loved it.

Struggling with narrator
Sorry, but I'm really struggling with the character voices - sounds as bad as me trying to read a Mr Men book to some kids. It's painful. The story is a bit repetitive too - seems to go over the same point far too many times. Could be so much better.

Disappointing
I could not get into this book at all no matter how I tried. I am not often defeated like this but could find no redeeming feature in this book. I shall be reluctant to try this author again.
