The Murder Room by PD James
A very good read.
'God what a dump, the baby looked fine, i wonder how much they pay for that hovel. But it won't help them with the local authority waiting list, they'll be pensioners before they qualify, they'd have done better sleeping on the streets, then they'd get priority. This is a terrible country to be poor in, that''s if your honest. The scroungers and cheats do well but try to be dependent and see what help you get' -
