Louiseog Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Enjoyed this but may stop the series now, think its more for reading to a small boy who likes heroes! Catherine Sampson Falling off Air which have had on tbr for years! Have linked to Amazon and think I agree more with the first review than the second!

Louiseog Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Here is the link. To blatantly steal a Librarything review, loved the book (or liked it certainly) made me realise that knitting was a lot more sophisticated than I thought but HATED the ending! Did not fit at all. What to read next....... I love this feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louiseog Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 I really enjoyed this, light but painted a picture of an age that was vivid and understandable. Fantasitc, I cried at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I thought you were joking with that book title. I had to go and look it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Butter Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Good title, eh? It was the first of the Agatha Raisin series. Someone whose opinion I respect suggested these books and told me I wouldn't stop laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 I do love this series, have read the first ten but tend to do it as light relief. Very easy to read and straightforward, except suddenly there are layers emerging! Prefer Simon Brett Fethering Mysteries which are in a similar vein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Prefer Simon Brett Fethering Mysteries which are in a similar vein I've read a couple of those - they were enjoyable. I've also read his 'Mrs Pargeter' books - not so good but an easy read - they were perfect for when my children required more attention than they do now!

Louiseog Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think Agatha Raisin is more like Mrs Pargeter. Susanna Gregory 'Blood on the Strand' second Thomas Chaloner story. I love her Matthew Bartholomew books set in Medieval Cambridge about a doctor, this is a similar theme in that it is set around a man who is a bit different to the norm but he is a spy in Restoration London. Listened to the first and wasn't that bothered so read this one, and am still a bit confused, lots of characters, very few of them from the first book and I found myself forgetting who they were! Having said that not much to think about, good story, goodies mainly win and its an interesting view of a period in history about which I know little of the social aspect.

Angel Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I blame you for the Matthew Bartholomew series!!! They are very good and I'm now looking out for them in the librar - a very good recommendation Louise!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very good and I'm now looking out for them in the librar - a very good recommendation Louise!!! Phew! I am really enjoying Sunday by the pool in Kigali. Not fun and very sad but thought provoking. My reading challenge for 2008 is to try and read these books. Have just started the list (alphabetically) will start a new 2008 log when it is (2008 that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
