Rebecca Tope

[Booknutt]

I think Spring must be affecting me already, for today I bought a few Rebecca Tope novels to try, despite the fact that "crime" novels are generally something I avoid .

 

I do feel the need to stir my brain though, and she seems a safe, not too violent choice.  

Her murders being set in the lovely surroundings of the British countryside is also a bonus, to my mind.

 

So in the next day or two I'll start "A Cotswold Ordeal" and see how I get on.

 

Do we have any Tope fans out there?  I'd like your advice or views on this author, and your own favourites too, for my future

 

Or ... does anyone have a (not too violent) author to suggest in crime, mystery, or general novels? 

 

Drop me a line in between cases, folks?

I've not actually heard of her Booknutt, but will have a look for her.

 

I'm a huge fan of Dorothy L Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey series, and can thoroughly recommend them. There are occasions of violence, but they are handled with appropriate gravity within the stories.

Thanks, Chrissy -                                                                                                             

 

forward march with the mission to find non-bloodsoaked crime and mystery novels!

I will get my thinking cap on Booknutt.

 

There are always the classics such as Sherlock Holmes, and the works of Agatha Christie, but I will contemplate more recent ones that aren't heavy with the graphic descriptions of violence, as many are.
