Simon Brett, "Mrs, Presumed Dead"
Apr. 9th, 2012 08:59 amLetter M in the ABC book roundabout. I think I'm due to get N and then it goes back to A (so I've still got 7 books to come). It's been an interesting experience so far; I've been reading a lot of books I wouldn't normally give the time of day to, and on the whole that experience is to be welcomed.
This, for example, has transformed my position on the Mrs Pargeter series from 'whuh?' to 'might pick up another if found in charity shop' - which is, after all, how I get most of my books. I liked Mrs Pargeter - she is what you might get if you gave Miss Silver Lord Peter Wimsey's money and circle of friends (I'm thinking particularly of Bert. Bill? The ex-burglar.) The plot was take-it-or-leave-it - I wasn't convinced by the final twist - but it was a fun read.
