Fun cozy British mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I've been reading all of their books this winter, and I enjoyed this one in the series. Personally I think they only get better over time. The mystery is a bit confusing at times, but the characters are great fun and it moves right along.
A Very British Mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Hunter's Quarry" is the first Susannah Stacey book I've read, and it may be the last since it's the only one my library has. There's a lot of the elements dear to British cozy fans - a bucolic estate; murders, past and present; an intrepid police inspector; and a cast of suspects that includes a wealthy dowager, the perfect butler, a spoiled actress, a retired military man, and a charming old lady with more than her share of intuition, not to mention cats. There's even a couple of rock stars thrown in to bring the genre up to date. If you can get past the fact that the protagonist's lovely wife is saddled with the unlovely moniker "Grizel Bone" you'll find an enjoyable read.
