Death and the Joyful Woman by Ellis Peters
4.0
Real Rating: 4.25* of five
Dominick Felse at sixteen made my reading experience brighter than the first installment of the series. I loved his pash for the red Karmann Ghia and the pretty owner thereof. Peters's moving evocation of George Felse's sense of himself changing in reference to Dom's adulting was so tenderly rendered and sensitively felt that I was amazed afresh at her unmarried childlessness. Although permaybehaps that was the source of her clarity and compassion...I shall never know.
How fun to rediscover a writer whose many series mysteries gave me so many hours of joy.
