Haven't read this as i'm not really into crime anymore. Delighted to release to a more appreciative home...

Released on Tuesday, October 14, 2003 at Sent to Bookcrossing friend by post in Cambridge, England United Kingdom.

For Shylock as promised. Enjoy. T'other book to follow by separate package

Just received this as a trade with Bookgroupman, looking forward to reading it.

Intriguing opening, where we watch a murderer at his craft in the backstreets of London. We follow him to a barbers & an old-fashioned museum of useless objects. It is an Albert Campion novel, but he doesn't feature much.
I remember enjoying Margery Allingham in the distant days when i was still reading Christie & Sayers (alas, i've read them all now). So picking up this,i expected an absorbing treat. But i found myself skimming for England & counting the number of pages i had left before finishing each chapter-always a bad sign. It may be that this is just not one of her best. But i suspect that i've had too rich a diet of contemporary fast-moving crime novels,written in snappy cinematic scenes,plots twisting on a pinhead, with in your face gore masked as realism. I think my taste buds in crime fiction have been dulled,and my attention span is narrowing. Time to go back to chewing my food & savouring the subtle blend of herbs & spices!

Taking to the August meetup in Leeds at The Angel Inn

11.30pm: pah, no takers! Will release on the way home.

Released on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 at Gallows footbridge on canal (near bus station) in Skipton, North Yorkshire, England United Kingdom.

Chucked it onto someone's narrowboat! I hope the occupants of 'The Wild Rover' are wanting something to read on their travels.
