an Inspector Luke Thanet mystery; "cozy" style, quick, light read

sending to Antof9 for her m-bag to moem

Arrived today for the m-bag going to The Netherlands. Thanks for your generosity! Yikes! I want to read them all :)

Just a quick update to let you know that this book is still at my house, and will go out in m-bag #2 on December 14. In case you're wondering, it's warm and dry and well-fed :) (and I'm reading it, which is partially why it didn't get in the original box!)

I really liked this book! I'm generally not into mysteries, but for some reason, this one caught my attention. I really enjoyed the way the story unfolded, the descriptions of the characters, the suspicions, etc. Each time I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. The funny part is that when I got to the end where the "twist" was revealed, I had two of the female characters' names confused! Don't laugh, but that made it even more of a twist!

I enjoyed the interweaving of Thanet's home life into the story. I don't know if all the "Inspector Luke Thanet" books are like this or not, but that made the Inspector more interesting as a person.

I especially liked the "Britishness" of the book. The locations, house descriptions, etc. And was tickled by the fact that what I call a "beeper" or "pager", Simpson calls a "bleeper". Makes me want to ask my British friends what they call it!

Thanks for sharing this on the way to Moem, Deenbat! Back in the box it goes :)

This book just arrived in Antof9's second M-bag. Thank you so much! It will be released in an OBCZ, or handed directly to another Bookcrosser. This book will travel the low lands!

Ah, a murder mystery. Good choice, many people love them.

RELEASE NOTES:

Mee naar een borrel voor ondernemende dames. Maar iedere Bookcrosser die wil mag het boek komen halen. En als de dames er niks in zien blijft het waarschijnlijk in het café.

Met Moem for the first time in my life. In a café, she started handing out books, I took three home, among them this one. I expect to have it read by the end of the week...
Moem, have you read it or have you just been helping it on its way? ;-)

Well, it took me a bit longer to finish reading the book - life and work got in the way - but I liked it. A lot. Like Antof9, I liked the Britishness and the way 'normal' life is woven into the whodunnit.

So off you go, my precious one...
