( ) Well, this was a bit of a dud. Interesting enough up to a point, and then she made an unconscionable mistake. A retired professor takes his nephew up on an offer of a peaceful winter in nephew's cottage, while nephew is wintering in Paris. But winter turns out to be colder and snowier than usual; the power goes off; nephew has forgotten to bring in a spare canister for the gas heater and Uncle has failed to bring boots; all the neighbors are neighborly, but full of gossip and speculation about a murder that happened six years ago, the last time there was such a spell of snow and power outages. Then, of course, another murder occurs...and Uncle puts it all together. The problem is, and I assure you of this, no ex-military man would ever sit around cleaning a loaded pistol, not even absent-mindedly. And we're given to understand that he was doing it knowing full well it was loaded. Nopenopenope. And that point wasn't even necessary to the plot. A very simple revision would have made everything work out just as well...well, better, actually. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesAndrew Basnett (1)
A retired botanist comes to stay in a charming English village, where murder and blackmail disturb the bucolic peace in this mystery series debut. No longer on the sprightly side of seventy, Professor Andrew Basnett is looking forward to retirement and finally digging into the biography he plans to write about an obscure seventeenth century botanist. While his flat in town is renovated, he settles into a little village in Oxfordshire where he's borrowed his nephew's cottage. It sounds perfectly pleasant, even with the village murderess living right up the road. Basnett's nephew informs him that Pauline Hewison's case never came to trial because she had the perfect alibi. Not entirely comforted, Basnett is more unnerved when a blizzard knocks out the power and provides a dark, snowy night just like the one six years ago when someone shot Charles Hewison through the head. It doesn't help that there's been another murder and that Pauline, once again, has motive to spare. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
