Stacey Solomon, husband Joe Swash and their kids transform into The Wizard of Oz characters as they pose for sweet family snaps on HalloweenI was also somewhat disappointed that little was made of the scenery in this area, especially as some mention of the location was made in the introduction to the book, regarding the setting being one of the attractions. In my research for this blog post, I come across a number of other novels which are set in, or feature, the Lakes. I haven’t given them a full description because I thought to do so would create a long and rather tedious article (my choice of what appears above and below is not based on any particular recommendation of my own). So to complete the list, you may also like to look at: In fact, the whole case isn’t what you would expect from a typical Golden Age mystery. There’s no group of suspects and an inspector who has to figure out motive and opportunity. Quite early on Meredith discovers that the victim had more money than he could have made by legal means and he suspects that this lead to his death. So the whole investigation focusses on figuring out in what exactly he was involved. This involves coordinating which sergeant observes which location, in-depth discussion of various theories as to what illegal activities it could have been and a fair number of other things that a Kelsea Ballerini shares racy photos in a cowgirl hat and pink bikini bottoms for Nylon's It Girl issue cover... as her beau Chase Stokes' ex Madelyn Cline comments on the outfit There was so much I enjoyed about the book. The author's style is rather buoyant. He is willing to use exclamations points as mood indicators, giving the whole a rather more light-hearted feel than the subject matter would suggest. There is no witty banter, but the various conversations between Meredith and his superiors are full of good will and the cooperative spirit.

Some found the book to be a little drawn out, making the ending come a lot later than they thought it should. Some found the book to have a shallow story and dull characters. Some felt that the book features characters with odd names to try to stand out, as nothing else that Tope writes about does stand out. It all just sort of fades away almost minutes after they are done reading it. They also found some of the events to not be very realistic either. Fans of the British village mystery who are very particular about setting should trek to The Cipher Garden.’The Lakes, the northwestern English county of Cumbria and close to a thousand square miles of pristine countryside.

Police are working at 30 crime scenes across the Lake District. They now believe that Bird, who witnesses described rampaging through the area drenched in blood, used two weapons. Inspector Meredith’s quest for the truth behind the murder is inexhaustible and is quite often hard to follow. If you know nothing about alcohol production, petrol distribution, pipes, suction and underground engineering, you may, like me, become bogged down in the technicalities. However, the story is strangely believable and entertaining, let alone impeccably researched by the author, and turns out to be a really good, unconventional and informative read.Kim Kardashian's daughter North West gets her own magazine cover! The star, 10, reveals she inherited dad Kanye West's 'love of performing' This book comes with a new introduction that proudly proclaims “This book may be a product of the Golden Age of detective fiction, but it is a world away from the unreality of bodies in the library and cunningly contrived killings in trans-continental trains.” And it’s true. Meredith is no Poirot who invites all the suspects in one room at the end and lays open the sins of every single one before explaining who really committed the murder. Neither is he a detective in the vein of the pre-golden age geniuses, who takes one look at the body and exclaims that this can’t have been a suicide because of the way the victim’s fingernails look. The case itself has also no big stakes. No innocent person will hang if the real killer isn’t caught. The fate of the world (or worse: the British Empire) isn’t in danger, either.
