Matthew the policeman says I love you to his wife; Cowgill the chief has a hankering for Lois; Gran is a matriarch who likes to answer the door and host meals; etc. etc. Except Lois the lead, each supporting character seems to have one 'thing' about them, which didn't give me a good view of them. Several of the characters' ages, for example, tripped me up, because I'd envisioned them one way, without much information, and then something later happened which didn't fit with that being their age. Oh well. I liked Derek the electrician and Harry the farmer most, and one of them gets it in the end! Too bad my sympathies went that way then. A good enough story and a very quick read. I liked the knowledge of the estate house doings and the comparison of the village people with the old family, too. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesLois Meade (11)
Lois Meade has worked through all the days of the week, turning up clues and scrubbing up messes and murderers in the village of Long Farnden. A series of robberies have begun to plague Long Farnden, and Lois's own daughter, Josie, is shaken when a thief makes off with a hundred pounds from the till in her grocery shop. But before her policeman fiancé can crack the case, someone cracks Lois's husband on the head when he interrupts a burglary in progress. Now Lois--and the besotted Inspector Cowgill--must determine who's cleaning out Long Farnden, and clean up after an increasingly violent crime spree. No library descriptions found. |
