Reviews by Ernest

This book was a good choice for me, for straight after the holiday. I enjoyed the fast moving story that had lots of different characters, I found them easy to visualise. The descriptions were good, and not 'too wordy' the story had a few twists and turns too. Everything that M C Beaton writes is worth reading, in my opinion. Penelope Keith is superb as a narrator of this genre. Recommended!

I was told that this was a "must read" but I found it to be a sad book that left me feeling miserable at the end, not what I read books for!

This book was a rollicking read it had so many different twists and turns with some dead ends and a few red herrings. I learnt all sorts of things about the rowing fraternity. I will read it again.

Not my favourite of Katie Fforde's books, but I do like her writing. A good old story without all the bad language just a good bit of storytelling I have recommended this to my friends not too predicable but enjoyable lightweight fiction.

Everything I look for in a modern mystery, with the involvement of the police and the amateur sleuth, who always solves the crime no matter how obscure the clues. Each one individual but all with the same main characters. Lots of intelligent, subtle humour. Can't wait for the next book in the Maxwell's series.

I always enjoy Ann Granger and this didn't disappoint. As ever a great mystery I love the various different misleading "clues" kept me glued to the book. Great read.

I enjoyed this book so much I was so engrossed I didn't expect all the amazing twists and turns. I will read this again it was so complex and at times I could almost believe it was true life it was gripping.

I laboured through this book and kept on hoping it was going to improve. I don't think it did, I usually listen with my spouse and this was just not that material. I usually choose a Simon Brett and thoroughly enjoy them but not this.

I really like Miranda Hart but this was just rubbish! So disappointing no part of it was worth listening to. I wish I had borrowed it from the library and at least then I could take it back unread, as it it it is on my ipod un-listened to. Sorry but that is the way I feel.
