The book builds up to an incredibly depressing scenario (I won't explain in case you ever read it), which is also very claustrophobic. My subconscious needed to do some serious rearrangement of the furniture. Plus I think I'm mulching right now. Thank you for the hugs.
The McCall books are perfectly amiable pieces of entertainment. Not too much in the way of detection. Actually, they're structurally very like the Amanda Cross books (the Kate Fansler books - did you borrow them?). I can read one in a couple of hours, it would probably take you twenty minutes, and certainly not the duration of, say, a train trip between Cambridge and Edinburgh :-D You're very welcome to borrow them if you like.
