Review
The reissue of the sixth novel in Veronica Stallwood's highly acclaimed Oxford series, which proves that 'there is life after Colin Dexter' The Times
Product Description
In order to come to terms with the death of a close friend, Kate Ivory has escaped Oxford and found sanctuary in a friend's cottage a few miles away. Here, in the peace of the countryside, she hopes to find inspiration for her next novel. However, shortly after Kate's arrival at the cottage, her gardener, Donna, is found dead in mysterious circumstances and Kate is reluctantly drawn into an investigation. Unconvinced by the official police verdict, she starts to uncover the feuds and illegal goings-on behind the genteel village façades. There is plenty of gossip, and everyone has a theory about Donna's death, but Kate must relinquish her exile and return to Oxford before she can discover the truth.

A good "English village" mystery that avoids cliches,

This review is from: Oxford Blue (Paperback)
Veronica Stallwood's account of murder in a small Oxfordshire village rings true. Her plot is plausible, and unfolds at a good pace. She has a good eye for character, and fills the book with people I'd like to know more about.

The book was delivered in good time in secure packing. The book is out of print but I was surprised by the wear and tear, although it is acceptable to read by me it would not be good enough to give as a gift.

The Oxford series continues to entertain.,
By Late Night Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oxford Blue (Paperback)
Oxford Blue is another entry in Veronica Stallwood's very readable series.
Kate Ivory is having a breather from the stresses and sorrows she experienced in the previous book, "Oxford Knot", where a close friend is murdered in Kate's front hall. She has escaped to a supposedly quiet cottage in a nearby rural village, but of course soon there is another murder for her to solve. This time she has the companionship and help of her mother Roz and, additionally, the village vicar - a rather strange young man. Somewhat lower key than her previous books, Stallwood still maintains the intrigue until the last few pages; admittedly, the solution is not much of a surprise. Nevertheless, I was entertained along the way by the loving banter between Kate and her matchmaking mother, and it was a relief to see Kate slowly returning to her former confident self. Once again this is a well-written and highly recommended entry in a consistently good series. |
