What a great series this is! It's the characters of course that make me want to know what's happening in their lives now, like catching up with old friends. This particular book put me in mind of some writing conferences I've been on - it was the all-in-one-bathroom pod that did it... - but then again it was only that - I've never been on a course quite like this one! (I can't decide whether I'm pleased or relieved about that.) But I can decide that this book, once again, lives up to the usual Lesley Cookman magic. If you've only just discovered Lesley, do start with her first one - Murder in Steeple Martin - and then you can grow to be friends with the characters like I have. As for me, I can't wait for the next one!
