I love this series. Set in London in WW I, this installment follows Inspector Marmion and Sergeant Keedy as they solve the murders of 2 women, one in a cinema and one in a park. There was a lot going on in this one; Marmion's son in France for the Battle of Somme, his wife battling an embitter...
This story of Domesday Book, murder and intrigue is quite an interesting one. Gervase Bret is a half-saxon lawyer and his companion Ralph Delchard are two Doomesday Commissioners, taking part in the survey. They find themselves in Bedwyn where there is intrigue and shortly after they arrive a de...

Read all 6 of these pretty much on the trot, which is good and bad. The bad thing about it is that it becomes obvious that there are passages that are repeated in each book. For example, when ever he introduces Madeline to the book, he describes how she & Robert became acquainted - which you know i...
Well, this book was interesting. I should seriously stop judging books solely by covers and buying them because it's pretty.The characters were possibly the only saving grace. They were pretty well-rounded and well-thought through characters, with the exception of maybe one or two minor characters.T...
A collection of twenty-one historical mystery short stories presented in chronological order. I bought this book solely to read Kate Ross' "The Lullaby Cheat," but I found I really enjoyed most all the stories in this collection. They range in length from eight to twenty-five pages, with the avera...
