3.0 out of 5 stars If you like Inspector Morse..., 25 May 1999
By A Customer
Malice in Cornwall reads much like the Inspector Morse or Wexford TV mysteries. Rather than an opera loving Morse, Graham Thomas has created Erskine Powell and his sidekick Detective-Sgt. Black who banter literary quotations back and forth. The Black character comes across as amusing. Powell isn't quite there yet - as a character, I mean. I don't think he has a personality strong enough for a series.

The mystery is straight forward. Plenty of digressions on Cornwall and the food Powell and Black are served. Is this a good thing or not?

The final paragraph was quite good. But I won't quote it here.

4.0 out of 5 stars English cozy takes on Cornish ambiance, 2 Sep 1998
By A Customer
I picked up this delightful mystery on a whim based on the quote by Susan Allen Toth (the engaging author of "My Love Affair with England") on the flyleaf. Graham Thomas draws his quaint and quirky local Cornish characters with a fine hand, and seems to be developing a fascinating, if all-too-human protagonist in Scotland Yard's Erskine Powell. As for locale, you can feel the rising damp on every page. Well done, I say. I look forward to more development of Chief Inspector Powell as well as more colorful locations.
