  3. I'm not sure what my choice will be, I'm actually waiting for a book which covers dual time frames to come out in pb, but I'm not sure when it's due out, so I might have to choose something else.
  4. Yes I did wonder about this post.

  7. I read this years ago and enjoyed it, there was a BBC version a few years ago which was also quite good, and i even saw a production at my local theatre a few years ago which was enjoyable, I know what you mean about the butler carrying on undaunted though, stiff upper lip, what ho! I would imagine her prose does feel dated now.
  8. King of the Mountain - Kate Bush
  9. The Killing Place by Kate Ellis - another instalment in the long-running Wesley Peterson series, set in Devon. This time he's investigating the murder of a young man who was tutor to the son of a local wealthy family, who have apparently headed off to Scotland to live off-grid for a break,which means of course that they can't be found. Then a local woman is murdered and the police become even keener to find out what's really been going on at Nesbarton Hall. Meanwhile, the historical story which runs parallel to the modern investigation concerns a body found on the estate, admittedly one from a couple of hundred years ago but when an old grotto is discovered, which has strange markings on the wall, Wesley's friend Neil is fascinated by the possibility of an illegal club which may have existed in the 18th century. It's a fairly standard police procedural,easy to read but a bit dry, with a bit of light relief provided by, as usual, Wesley's irrepressible mum in law Della, who happens to be on a writing retreat at the lodge on the estate. An OK read but nothing particularly special. 6.5/10
