This book was received in just a couple of days, I was impressed with the speed of delivery. Condition was as promised. Thankyou

Good book - lots going on

This book has as its main character an artist/detective with his own style of living, mixing conventional and unconventional attitudes about where and how to live - all with a great sense of humor and a good heart, plus a more than a dash of sarcasm and wit. The writing style is easy to follow and the book flows well, even though there are quite a few plot strands to follow. The setting (Bath, Cornwall, and the main character's home in the country) are used to good effect, and there are lots of relationships among the various characters that are interesting to watch develop. I didn't lose interest as the book came towards its conclusion, as I do when things seem to be goingto a predictable end, because things here take a few unexpected turns. I look forward to more books by this author; I liked the handling of the detecting aspects of the plot as well as seeing more how the characters develop.
