I did like the St. Just series better, but these keep me reading and entertained, and I think that is what any fiction book should do (for me anyway).TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-34823552024783452312017-12-14T07:27:17.201-08:002017-12-14T07:27:17.201-08:00I tried one by this author and wasn't that kee...I tried one by this author and wasn't that keen.

I read a good number of the Martha Grimes series at two different points in my life and liked them pretty well (not knowing how accurate the depiction of the UK was). Those are much more serious in tone than this series, as I remember them.

Still, this does sound like a solid read. And sometimes, it's nice to have something lighter and, as Keishon says, less violent.

Part of the fun for me in visiting your blog is the new writers I discover and of course most of the books here are cozy/spy reads which can be a bit of a comfort read if you're not into all the violence and stuff. --Keishon Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-75199500292698233942017-12-09T00:50:38.485-08:002017-12-09T00:50:38.485-08:00Sounds like a laugh Tracy and if you are in the ri...Sounds like a laugh Tracy and if you are in the right mood, why not?
