A review by ashleylm
Dead in the Morning by Margaret Yorke
4.0
I'm always trying to find the perfect mystery series. On one hand we have books where the cover is pink with bits of blue and yellow, there are tea and snacks prominently displayed, a pet (or two), and a punning title like "Hello Murder, Hello Father," while on the other hand we have large sans-serif titles of two words or less called "COLD DEATH" where they shoot a baby in Chapter One, and I would really like something in the middle.
So this first Patrick Grant novel was very welcome, striking the perfect balance between too twee and too dreadful.
Will eagerly pursue Book 2!
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s).
