Twisty and full of rich characters who come alive on the page. One of his best.

Another Gervase Fen mystery, although this time he's theoretically undercover - or at least going by an alias - as he investigates a series of poison pen letters + murder in a picturesque village. It took me a while for me to get into it and for the characters to grow on me, but it/they did eventually. And really, "a while" is a relative term, since the books read so quickly once they get going. And yes, as twisty as I've come to expect, although not quite as ha ha ha. Really enjoyable, though.

This book had its charming moments, and was full of unique characters and tons of red herrings. Still unsure if I will read others in this series.

I love Fen, and was unsure about how much I'd enjoy this one since he has a smaller part, but I was happily carried on by the other characters.
