The plot isn't strong, but these aren't books which you read in the hope of a convoluted mystery any more than you read [[:Category:P G Wodehouse|P G Wodehouse]] for the plot. The body count is high (there ought to be a health warning for anyone thinking of moving to Carsley), but there's nothing too gory. The location shouts 'Cotswold village' or indeed any other village blessed with a split population - those who weren't born there but can afford to live there, and those who were, but can't. It was an enjoyable read and whilst I might not have laughed out loud I had a lot of smiles and a good few sniggers. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
If you enjoy PI mysteries, we've recently read [[Closed Casket: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery by Sophie Hannah]] and been pleased by the man's reincarnation. For another crime story where there's plenty of humour, try [[Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions by Mario Giordano]]. [[M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin Books in Chronological Order]]
