This* is a gripping and entertaining cosy murder mystery. It's well-written, suspenseful and thoroughly enjoyable.
Maisie is our amateur, would-be Miss Marple (a much younger version!), trying to piece together the events that led to her estranged brother's murder, helped by the policeman with whom she'd been at school and whose soft spot for her all those years ago is still there. See About the Book below.
The cast of characters is diverse and the clues lead you down many different paths. The seventies setting brought back many memories of those miserable power-cut days!
It's well strategised and well paced and brought to a gentle conclusion, but I am now curious if Maisie and her policeman ever pick up where they left off so many years previously. I was very pleased to discover that this new-to-me author has written other Maisie Cooper mysteries, so I shall enjoy familiarising myself with them all.
