I enjoyed The Saint Zita Society by Ruth Rendell which is set in an exclusive street in London populated by a number of "characters". The Society, comprised of domestic staff, meets occasionally to discuss issues such as people leaving their bags of dog droppings under trees in the area. The Still family have a number of staff including a nanny, au pair, and chauffeur. Mrs Still has a lover who visits when Mr Still isn't home. This situation results in tragic consequences and a number of the characters are affected. The author is adept at creating quirky characters and there are many in this story. 4/5
