Format:Paperback
I read the first two Libby Sarjeant mysteries on holiday and was hooked, completely ignoring scorching sun, turquoise sea and white sand to be embroiled in the brilliantly-written murderous shenanigans in Steeple Martin and the surrounding Kent villages. The third in the series, Murder in Midwinter, was therefore top of my Christmas Wish List - and I wasn't disappointed. This time, ignoring friends and family and the festive fun, I joined Libby, Fran, Peter and Harry and the rest of the gang (a gang who are so real that I'm convinced they're all living, breathing people) as once again they're plunged into a cleverly-crafted story involving shock inheritances, mysterious deaths, and all manner of deeply-hidden secrets. This book is another perfect page-turning English village murder mystery that is simply unputdownable. Fans of Agatha Raisin need look no further. I'd give Murder in Midwinter more than 5 stars if I could and am now impatiently waiting for the next instalment.

The Libby Sarjeant Mysteries are what I would describe as light easy reading.It is a pleasant change to read something which is not full of foul language and unnecessary violence.The stories,or the ones I have read appear to keep the same general characters whose live styles are quite believable.Not quite a Miss Marple but still quite good.

I learned the term 'cosy' from a lecturer discussing mystery and adventure fiction. A 'cosy' is a story with a good mystery, anyone murdered being only 'lightly killed' not spread around the scene as if from a muck spreader, where the goodies always win, and the baddies are justly dealt with. Lesley Cookman's Midwinter stories are very much of this genre. I picked up one of the series in a charity shop and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have since bought the rest of the series new (this author deserves her royalties). Good stories, good characters, no 'realistic' violence, no industrial language - really good reads.

loved the cover.
I think the best thing about this book is the cover. I may have started out at a disadvantage by not starting this series from the first book and may have missed the dynamics. Read more
