Lovely murder mystery set in UK with Jamaican British citizens

I loved this murder mystery that starts slow, taking its time to introduce us to the lives of elder Jamaicans who came to UK a long time ago but by the time we get towards the end there are a LOT of twists and turns and almost felt like a thriller. I did not like that there was this "one good cop" situation once again but it was possible to ignore. I think this book will be good as a limited series IMHO. I really hope it gets that!
