Product Description

Product Description

Nestled in the fertile hills of the Cotswolds, the village of Duntisbourne Abbots is a well-kept secret: beautiful, timeless and quintessentially English. When recently widowed Thea Osborne arrives to house-sit for a local couple, her only fear is that three weeks there might prove a little dull.

4.0 out of 5 stars An absorbing book, 28 Mar 2009
By H. MCCABE (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is much in this book that I admire; the author's skill in attending to minute details as well as an expansive knowledge of the Cotswold setting. Both are cleverly interspersed with her personal philosophy as to the nature of humanity. Thea, the heroine, is a strong, intelligent woman, who is quite able to cope with two murders which have been committed in close proximity of the house in which she is staying. She has not only the ability to pursue her own investigation alongside the police, but also the skill to evaluate the evidence. However, she has an underlying vulnerability that evokes compassion and sympathy in the reader. Thea is the book and, sometimes the plot is subordinate, yet does not suffer for it. I enjoyed 'A Cotswold Killing' very much and would not hesitate to buy another book by Rebecca Tope.

4.0 out of 5 stars just what I needed, 24 Mar 2009
By Chris (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I tend to read a lot of nonfiction, and detective novels act as holiday reading - I do not mean this is not well written - it is, and has that balance between plot going along and descriptive narrative right, in my view. These deserve to be better known, and if you've enjoyed Agatha Raisin or Mitchell and Markby novels this would easily satisfy you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read, 19 Aug 2009
By Wiltshire Wanderer (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book as I live not far from the village mentioned, and thought it sounded a good read. I enjoyed the book. It had a good plot, lots of village characters which I could relate too, a little bit of intreague, and the plot kept me interested to the last page. Overall a good book to take away on holiday if you like a mystery.
