Since September, I read three mystery novels by Alison
Joseph. She is the author of a dozen
books set in early 20th Century England in small country
villages. Agatha Christie is a character
in some of the dozen or so books Alison Joseph has published, including one of
the novels I read. Christie is trying to write a book and is interrupted by being
dragged reluctantly into solving an actual murder.
I am not very good at puzzles, so I read mysteries that are good stories. When I
got to the end of each of the novels, I was surprised to find who committed the
murders. I won’t say anything else because any clue at all helps those sharp-minded
people who love solving mysteries and really can figure out “Who Done It?”
before the end.
I
read all of Dorothy Sayers Lord Peter Whimsy novels because I loved the
stories. I feel the same about the novels of Alison Joseph. They are really
good stories that happen to be about solving a murder.
This
year I read: Murder Will Out, Dying to
Know and Hidden Sins. Next month
I’m planning to read The Dying Light.
