I liked this, I don't want to call them red herrings because I don't think they were there to mislead the reader, more we see potential evidence and review it alongside Jago. I have also really started to enjoy the historical facts interwoven into the stories, I am not familiar with West Ham as an area but I love the descriptions of the buildings and the politics of the era, many of which have almost been forgotten.
