Review

"The village mystery observes more stringent procedures than a military task force. . .Ann Granger knows the drill so well she couldwrite a manual."

Product Description

Superintendent Alan Markby and Meredith Mitchell are in desperate need of a holiday - and the Cotswold village of Parsloe St John seems the perfect choice.  Their neighbour, retired journalist Wynne Carter, is as convivial as the village itself and, over a glass of blackberry wine, indulges in her latest obsession, Olivia Smeaton, a racy old lady whose life - and death - she is convinced are not all they seem.

Markby is more interested in buying Olivia's house than the circumstances of her vacating it, but Meredith is intrigued: by the old lady, the death of a cherished horse and a dusty junk shop run by a white witch.  When another fatality - of a very grisly nature - is discovered, it seems her suspicion is justified.  Clearly Olivia isn't the only enigma in Parsloe St John - and her death might be the first of many unless Meredith Mitchell and Alan Markby can make sense of some very secret lives to reach the truth ...

This is yet another great Mitchell & Markby 'who dunnit' novel. The setting is in a sleepy village, but soon as Mitchell & Markby arrive allsorts happen! Very hard to put down.

Murder, she wrote 8 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
I've read a lot of Anne Grainger's novels this year & I found this one a little disappointing. It was almost as if the author was experimenting with new surroundings and new detectives. The way that Markby & Meredith stumbled upon a mystery was all too convenient and a little bit like Jessica Fletcher in Murder she wrote. A lot of time was spent with the leads arguing over whether there was anything to investigate, we as readers know there is and I wish they'd got on with it a bit. I found some of the characters a little unbelievable and Wynne was particularly irritating. Having said all this, the plot built to a nice conclusion and I never suspected the twist to this tale.
Always easy reading with Grainger, but not one of her best.

Nice novels...for the summer.
Nothing special after a while when you read some other author as Ruth Rendell.
