Journal Entry 1 by synergy from San Antonio, Texas USA on Tuesday, April 27, 2004

I bought this book at the S.A. Central Library Book Cellar. I like mysteries and it's a think book so I can quickly read it and make it available or wild release it. Journal entry and change of status as soon as I read it. 

Journal Entry 2 by synergy from San Antonio, Texas USA on Sunday, May 23, 2004

This is the third book of this character that's in my possession. As I mentioned for book #3, this book is written by an older english woman along the tone or maybe style of Agatha Christie.

At any rate I like that type of old-fashioned mystery and enjoyed this book. I believe this was the last one of the books Peters wrote with this character. As with #10 which I read right before it, it also contained more people involved so there were people who might fit the whodunit. I didn't really have a clear idea who did it and the revelation of the name of who did it at the end of the book gave a good "oooohhh! THAT'S who that is" moment. I didn't have a clue, but the book is written so you don't know without being frustrated about it. :)

From the back of the book:

"Miss de la Pole drained her glass and rose to set a good example, drawing her black shawl round her shoulders. "He won't do, you know," she said with inexorable gentleness; and having pronounced her oracle, as gently and decidedly withdrew, leaving them room either for comment or for silence. As it turned out, no one had anything to object or to add."

In a whirlwind of activity, wealthy nwecomer Arthur Rainbow extravagantly refurbishes the Manor House, joins the Golf Club, Angling Society and Arts Council- and, in a ruthless coup, dislodges the old church organist to take over the position himself. Rainbow was becoming a veritable curse on the sleepy village of Middlehope- until someone pushed him off the St. Eata's church tower.

The news causes very little surprise or sorrow to the villagers- but much speculation as to who the murderer could be. After all, there are so many candidates- from his young, beautiful, flirtatious wife to the usurped organist and his mutinous choir. It falls upon Superintendent George Felse, newly promoted head of the Midshire CID, to follow the twisted path to Rainbow's End.
