9. "A High Mortality of Doves" by Kate Ellis

Sun Nov 8, 2020, 02:04 PM

Nov 2020

First of a trilogy of mysteries set just after the First World War. Pretty good, but some of it is written in the present tense, which irritates me.

Busy week reading - I read "Sad Cypress" one of the few Agatha Christie novels that I hadn't read before. Also another Kate Ellis "The Death Season" - one of her "Wesley Peterson" mysteries set in South Devon. I recommend the whole series. And then a couple of Frances Brody's "Kate Shackleton" mysteries - set between the Wars. These are located near where I live - so I enjoy reading about places that I'm currently not allowed to visit.

We're back in lockdown, but it seems that the COVID cases (locally anyway) are shooting up and up.

Well done to you all for getting rid of your racist moron - but spare a thought for us. We're stuck with ours.

Stay safe.
