Product Description

Product Description

It is with some trepiditation that Meredith Mitchell returns to the Cotswolds: the Bamford district holds memories that, to put it generously, are bittersweet, and Christmas is a difficult time to find oneself a stranger in a new area.  Yet she receives a kindly welcome, in particular from her old acquaintance Chief Inspector Markby and from her new neighbour Harriet Needham, a striking redhead with whom Meredith immediately feels a certain kinship.

But Meredith has barely got to know her neighbour when Harriet is involved in a shocking - and fatal - accident at the Boxing Day Hunt.  Witnesses to the death are plentiful, for the incident occurred in Bamford's crowded market square, and many are adamant it's a case of murder.  Chief Inspector Markby is inclined to agree, although he suspects the guilty party is not the most obvious one.  Before long Meredith Mitchell begins, reluctantly, to think he might be right ...

This is the second in the Mitchell & Markby novels and I'm sure they improved as time went on. The first two were quite basic (a lot of the writing seemed to be written by a school-girl) and actually had very little plot. The author's heroines seem to be marked by an incredible indecisiveness about their relationships.

Having said that, they were pleasant enough reads and 3 stars may be a bit harsh (but I was worried that 4 would imply it was better than I thought it was).

This series isn't bad at all if you're in the mood for a fairly gentle English whodunnit (which I often am), but the writing verges on the poor quite often.
One particularly irritating trait of the author's is to follow everything the protagonists say with an exclamation mark. I counted 14 on one page! It was getting so annoying that I actually stopped to count! This can't be a good thing!
If you're after good writing as well as a decent plot, you'd be better off with Reginald Hill, Peter Lovesey or Peter Robinson.

A connoisseur's delight 1 Jan 2001
By Judith Lindenau - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you like the British mystery, complete with English heaths and pubs, tweeds and gardens and walking shoes--then you'll enjoy "A Season for Murder". Meredith Mitchell returns to England after years abroad with the British foreign service in Central Europe. She settles in to a small town in the Cotswolds, is greeted by her old friend Chief Inspector Markby and her soon-to-be-murdered neighbor, Harriet Needham. There's lots of tea, horses, and heath-walkers in the course of events--even a handsome gypsy thrown in for good measure. But Harriet's murderer is a surprise and by the time Meredith and Markby discover who it is, he's murdered another victim.

A delightful book, well written, with deft and remarkable characterization and plotting.

Nice Cozy 7 Feb 2002
By Erika Sorocco - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Meredith Mitchell has been working for the British Foreign Service for years, and Pook's Common is the best place for her to move after getting a desk job. When she meets a charming woman, Harriet Needham, she knows she's found a great friend, until she turns up dead at the Boxing Day Hunt. Now it's up to Meredith and Inspector Markby to find the killer.

While this was a very charming cozy, it wasn't all mystery. It did deal a lot with the relationship between Meredith and Markby. I also felt that the author described the characters a little too much, I was waiting for a murder. Overall I enjoyed this book very much, and recommend it to anyone looking for a great cozy this holiday season, or for anytime of the year.

More politics than mystery 22 Oct 2009
By D. Hickman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The English countryside, mistletoe, murder and a little romance - I thought this would be a great book. What a disappointment, I stopped after 40 pages because I couldn't take any more preaching. Unless you want to read endless left-wing rants about what is wrong with the world - save your money.
