Product Description
The twelfth mystery in the acclaimed Sheila Malory series It is twenty years since Leonora Staveley retired as an investigative journalist to live on Exmoor, surrounded only by her beloved animals. Living as a virtual recluse, her house filled with the relics of an extraordinary life, no-one was too surprised when she suffered a fatal bout of food poisoning. But Sheila Malory suspects something far more sinister was involved in the death of her friend. For a number of people had good reason to want this wealthy lady out of the way. And aside from the obvious suspects, just who was the mysterious young man seen camping near Leonora's house days before she died?

A Lighweight,
By Dusty (LONDON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leonora (Sheila Malory mystery) (Paperback)
Leonora was the first Hazel Holt I've read, set in the hills of Exmoor, Holt describes the countryside well, however the rest of the book disappoints.Leonora Stavely is a fascinating, well travelled woman who now lives in obscurity in a badly maintained house on the moor. Why she dies and how, together with the all too convenient involvement of Sheila Mallory, whom I found to be a very light-weight sleuth, is a rather implaisible tale. The plot lacks depth and insight though some of the characters were believable. Maybe the other Mallory novels are crafted better - I for one won't be buying any more to find out.

Lenora,
By Laureen Larabie "Mystery Lady" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Leonora (Sheila Malory mystery) (Paperback)
This is the same book as 'Death by Water'. They changed the name of the book and reissued it. So I bought two of the same books.
