Product Description

Product Description

“The Treasure of Claresby Manor” – Laura Mortimer may have to sell an inherited title, or even her ancestral home, unless stories about treasure hidden in the time of Oliver Cromwell prove to be true and the messages left in a family portrait can be deciphered.

“Pickled Toad with Diamonds” – A valuable but controversial work of art goes missing, and every one of the houseguests has a motive for stealing or destroying it. The truth about the disappearance provides an unexpected twist in this tale.

“An Uninvited Guest” – Of all the unwelcome guests you hope will not turn up at your wedding: ex-spouses, drunken relations and voluble friends in possession of all the facts about your misspent life, a none-too-fresh corpse is amongst the most undesirable.

Three mystery stories by Daphne Coleridge plus a bonus story (some mild horror!)

Mysterious! 4 Jan 2011
By P. J. Salisbury TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very pleasant and intriguing set of short mysteries, with a fourth bonus story for good luck. My personal inclination is very much towards science fiction and these stories are different to what I would usually choose. I came across the book on the UK Kindle Users Forum and found that I enjoyed it very much.

The first three stories are linked in location and by the two main characters. There is effective character development, which progresses throughout the set of three. I found I was interested in the relationship between the characters to such a degree that it was impossible to stop reading after the first story and had to immediately carry on to the second, and then the third.

The fourth story I read a couple of days later. It is a standalone and not connected with the first three. It is somewhat spookier than the first three stories and particularly effective.

All four stories are well-paced and I was quickly involved in both the characters and in finding the solution. I admit that each one kept me guessing to the end. The twist in the tail of each story is most skilfully revealed.

Ms Coleridge has an eye for detail and spreads it thinly enough to ensure that the reader is left always wanting more. I found the style very easy, natural and visual; just the thing for a comfortable evening in. I shall be looking for more by this author.

This book of - actually four rather than three - mysteries has a gentle feel of a bygone era with even the author's name fitting in with this impression. The stories feature a bright couple Rupert and Laura - although Rupert is the one who actually does the solving. The second and third stories placed things firmly in the 21st Century with mention of the credit crunch, texting, emails and even a kindle! However, despite this, the telling still had a retro feel which I very much enjoyed. I can't say I solved any of the mysteries although I did get part of the puzzle right in the third story 'The uninvited guest'. These are the kind of mysteries I could easily see say maybe a Jonathan Creek type solving if it were on TV. A most enjoyable read - so much so I've already bought a couple more in the series.

Not for me 9 Nov 2011
By Book Lover - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Three Mysteries is three light weight short stories that is almost too easy to read. The characters a light-weight (husband and wife) that seem to fall into a mystery and somehow it gets solved with not effort on their part. Not that interesting to read.
