During high school I was in love with old out-of-date Miss Marple, Agatha Christie and The Cat Who series. Pressure Head gave me that same comfort feeling. Tom Paretski was fun to follow as he went blindly searching for answers in his little village. JL Merrow is firing on all cylinders with this on...

This book was so delightfully British. Truthfully, it was just delightful in general. I see this classified as m/m romance, but I would call it more of a m/m cozy mystery.

Love JL's writing. It flows so beautifully. Just the right balance of all the different aspects (dialogue/internal/external plot/characters - primary and secondary/pets/setting.Not too sure whether the guy on the cover fits my picture of Tom though. He doesn't look British enough.I have a feeling we...
