A Christmas Malice by John Bainbridge
I tend to read mysteries based on character and plot, but the detail and scene setting in A Christmas Malice really elevate this story and bring it to life.

There were plenty of juicy red herrings, and macabre moments, but as a cosy mystery it retained an elegance along with plenty of fascinating detail. The sinister yet poetic description of an exhumation has lingered in my mind. The main character, Abbs, is appealing … Continue reading A Seaside Mourning by John Bainbridge

Endless Night by Agatha Christie
Endless Night is a very interesting and unusual work that somewhat stands out from many of Christie's other novels: like The Pale Horse or Crooked House, it's rather in a league of its own. It has a distinctly 1960s setting, which would have been contemporary when Christie wrote it but is now charmingly vintage. Whereas … Continue reading Endless Night by Agatha Christie
