Summary: A wonderful British mystery
Comment: This book is a continuation of a series that I love, Gosling's Luke Abbott series. The first book in the series, The Wychford Murders, is one of my favorites. It might be best to read that story first, as it gives a deeper feel for Abbott's personality.

Summary: Kind of bland.
Comment: This is the first book I have read by this author, and it seemed kind of discombobulated. While trying to maintain some sort of steady storyline, it seemed the author wasn't content unless there was at least one stress point going at all times. Whether it was Tess trying to cope with her husband's death; dealing with strange phone calls about some supposedly missing money; trying to protect her son; or trying to cope with her job, new boarder, her housekeeper's brother, or a variety of other stressors, there was no resting point at all during this book and no neat coming together of facts with which to finish the story. Throughout the whole book, Tess Leland was constantly on the edge, nerves frazzled, ready for the tiniest little push to put her over the edge. It was almost as if somebody took a jigsaw puzzle, threw it into the air (where it hovered for a while) and then at the end dropped to the floor with every piece in place. That was the way this story read.
