5.0�toiles sur 5 A Stranger in our Midst, Mars 28 2004

Par	Celia Redmore "Celia Redmore" - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

"Mrs Malory and the Silent Killer" contains a tidy picture of life in a small English village, populated by a mix of local families, retired couples, and professionals drawn to the pretty countryside and mild climate. Some families have known each other for generations.

So when an elderly widower falls asleep one last time in his chair, and there seems to be no end to the dark secrets that come pouring out, villagers are left wondering how they could have so thoroughly misjudged a long term neighbour. The only question left is which of the old man's victims was finally driven to take revenge.

Holt's series of murder mysteries, based in rural Somerset in South West England, provides a calming escape for busy city workers. Characters quite properly eat digestive biscuits with their tea, donate their used clothing to Oxfam, and honour soldiers fallen on the field of battle on Poppy Day. The author gets the details of her stories right and that makes all the difference.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Typical fine mystery from this fan favorite, Mars 2 2004

Par	Harriet Klausner - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

The small English village of Taviscombe is usually a peaceful place where everyone knows their neighbors. One of the residents Sidney Middleton is liked and respected by everyone who knows him; they also feel sorry for him because his son David is trying to push him into a nursing home. The whole village mourns when Sidney passes away and is shocked to discover the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning. Someone deliberately murdered him by tampering with the chimney.

Stella learns at Sidney's funeral that he wasn't the good hearted, generous person everyone thought he was. Instead he pretended to be a nice soul. Brian Thorpe tells Mrs. Mallory he's glad that Sidney is dead as the paragon cheated on his wife with Brian's mother but then cruelly dumped her. His mother had a nervous breakdown from which she never recovered. Another resident learns that Sidney was responsible for the death of his brother in WWII. Stella begins to hear other ugly stories about the man everyone respected and for once, she does not investigate, half-hoping that someone does get away with murder.

MRS. MALORY AND THE SILENT KILLER is the quintessential English village cozy mystery. Readers are entertained by the who-done-it because there are many suspects all of whom were hurt by Sidney and had a motive for killing him. It is impossible to figure out who the actual killer is until Hazel Holt unmasks the perpetrator. The heroine is very likeable and believable, the sort of person one wants as their granny.
