Customer Reviews

Alternative title ?Superfluous Death?

Many of Hazel Holt's books have alternative titles, `Mrs Malory Wonders Why ` was originally titled `Superfluous Death', `Mrs Malory, Detective in Residence' was originally `Murder on Campus' and `Mrs Malory and the Only Good Lawyer' was `The Only Good Lawyer...' (the last subtly different!). -SW

pleasant, interesting, readable, enjoyable

This is a lot better than many mysteries I've read recently. The main character is interesting, pleasant, and believable. I do wonder, sometimes, about the police in mystery novels, so ready to let a relative or friend in on the police work, even before following police procedures. It would be nice if the police in these mysteries were also believable.
