A red herring and shocking revelations round out this title. Rated C [3 stars].
Next is Foreigner by C.J. Cherryh. My first with this author.

Yes, I enjoyed House of Silk, though I wasn't blown away by it.
I'll be interested to hear what you think about the Foreigner book. I'm a big fan, but it can be a bit slow for some people in places. But it works for me because the world is interesting.
