Review by Cathy Macleod (310113) Rating (9/10) Review
by Cathy Macleod This murder plot also tackles the Shakespeare debate about who really wrote the plays. Academics still argue about this, but in penning her tale Ann Morven suggests a solution as plausible as any. And she ties it to the murders that beset a fascinating rural retreat called Maggots Wallop. The female sleuth is a dunce at deduction but, being a folksinger, is well versed in human folly and traumas of the heart. She's challenged by the high-tech wizardry of the British police and I loved how she gets the better of their bullying chief. Most of all, I enjoyed her predicament when she helps a conjuror by agreeing to be ‘sawn in half’ and the trick goes wrong! Chuckles and chills come fast throughout, one of the things I love about this author. This
is an intelligent thriller and I rate it 9 out of 10. Google the
author's name to find it in either digital or (as I did) paperback. |
