Summary: If you're a fan of M.C.Beaton...
Comment: You will probably appreciate this authors prose, but will realize this is not the easy, light-hearted engrossing read the Hamish McBeth and Agatha Raisin series are. But, the story is intriguing, once you get into the book. If you do wish to read this, be careful of a prior review; it just about tells the entire plot. NOT appreciated !

Summary: If you like Inspector Morse...
Comment: 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.

Summary: English cozy takes on Cornish ambiance
Comment: 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.
