Bookseller Flora Steele and writer Jack Carrington are having a holiday in Cornwall, while Jack does some research for his new book, to be set there. Naturally, Flora stumbles across a body almost as soon as they arrive; it is the corpse of the man who has rented Primrose Cottage to them, a retired bank manager whose passion was researching events in wartime Cornwall. It seems there are any number of suspects, including a wastrel brother and an estranged wife, but perhaps the crime is rooted further back in the past…. This is the third Flora Steele cozy, set in the mid-1950s and advancing the relationship between our two main characters, although the incipient romance is still being held at bay. I’m enjoying these books, which have a nice sense of character and of place and time, although I have a major quarrel with this particular book - sure, English people think of Cornwall as an English *county*, but true Cornish people like me know it’s actually a separate *country*! So I had to mentally add an “r” into the word every time the author mentioned it….Recommended, but start with Book 1 (“The Bookshop Murder”). ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"Cornwall, 1956: When Flora Steele sets off for a peaceful vacation with crime writer Jack Carrington in his little red Austin, the last thing she expects to find is a body at their pretty rental cottage! Shocked by the discovery, inquisitive Flora joins forces with handsome Jack to find out how the poor man came to such an untimely end in the overgrown orchard of Primrose Cottage. They discover Roger Gifford was a man with plenty of friends and the villagers seem devastated by his sudden death... So why was he murdered? And who has blood on their hands - his estranged wife Beatrice, his wayward younger brother Lionel, or the suspicious newcomer Mercy Dearlove? The baffling case gets even more complicated when a second man is found dead and a set of puzzling clues lead them to an intriguing wartime mystery connected to Jack's estranged father. As old secrets emerge and Jack receives an unsettling letter, it seems the crime writer is in danger of a fate befitting his fictional characters. Will Flora be able to crack the case and save Jack? Or will this be one murder too many for Flora Steele?"--Provided by publisher. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
