 ​Ted Bun reviews Murder in the Raw (Rex Graves Mystery) by C.S. Challinor

A three-star pot-boiler of a country house murder with a couple of twists …
Actress disappears, no body found, police not interested. The rich guests, some of them very rich want resolution so they send for Scottish Legal Eagle Rex Graves to find the killer.
Then the twists
The first of which is the location a naturist resort on the island of St Martin.
Number 2 Rex does not …. that would spoil the tale.
Marks lost because Ms Challinor failed to research the setting for her story or naturism particularly carefully.

This story is a romantic comedy. it includes naked people doing things that people do. ... There are no sex scenes ... after all the characters are British!
It is a police story, it includes criminal activity. There is no murder, no horrific violence ... after all it is set in rural England.
