Product Description
Synopsis
This is a 'John Rawlings' Georgian mystery. Apothecary John Rawlings has been summoned to Devon by Elizabeth di Lorenzi, his beautiful but unpredictable mistress. Leaving his young daughter Rose in the good care of her grand-father Sir Gabriel Kent, Rawlings sets off for Exeter on board the stagecoach. His fellow-passengers are a motley crew, and include a large and talkative German lady; Cuthbert Simms, a dance-master; and Jack Beef, the so-called 'Black Pyramid', a bare-knuckle fighter. Before the journey's end a man has been found brutally murdered at the Half Moon Inn, and Rawlings is once again drawn, somewhat reluctantly, into a complex and dangerous intrigue.

A poor Christie rehash,

This review is from: Death and the Black Pyramid (John Rawlings, Apothecary) (Hardcover)
I have loved all the previous John Rawlings book but this one was a big disapointment , it had the feel of a pot boiler churned out to a formula with a story line shamelessly pinched from Murder on the Orient Express.It lacked the sparkle and style of the previous books.I only hope that this was a one off abberation and that Deryn gets back on form with the next in the series.

This review is from: Death and the Black Pyramid: John Rawlings Series, Book 13 (John Rawlings, Apothecary) (Kindle Edition)
This is the first time I have used a Kindle for a new book, as opposed to a paper copy- very pleased with it - easy to read - would do so again - so keep publishing new books on Kindle

Deja vu?,
By
This review is from: Death and the Black Pyramid (John Rawlings, Apothecary) (Hardcover)
I've just listened to the audiobook of this and I was totally disappointed as it was the same storyline and conclusion as Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. Not at all original, and nowhere near as well-written as it's inspiration, I certainly wouldn't recommend this book. Read Agatha Christie's original instead!
