Date with Malice: A Samson and Delilah Mystery
Date with Malice: A Samson and Delilah Mystery | Julia Chapman
4 posts | 4 read
The second book in a delightful new English village mystery series set in the Yorkshire Dales.When a pensioner turns up at the Dales Detective Agency and tells Samson O'Brien that someone in her old people's home is trying to kill her, he dismisses her fears as the ramblings of a confused elderly lady. But after several disturbing incidents at Fellside Court, he begins to wonder if perhaps there is something malicious at the heart of the retirement community after all. With Christmas around the corner, Samson is thrown into an investigation that will require all of his detective skills. He also needs the help of the tempestuous Delilah Metcalfe in order to infiltrate the local community, which Samson turned his back on so long ago. Against the background of a Yorkshire winter, Samson and Delilah must work together to uncover the malevolence that is threatening the lives of Bruncliffe's senior citizens; a malevolence that will come perilously close to home.

Though published in 2017 this reads like a cosy murder mystery written in the 1990s. It isn't set in the 90s, as far as I could tell, but the writing and story telling gave a very 90s feel.

The will they won't they vibe to the main couple was eyeroll worthy.

Dull and predictable.

Does anyone else here find that the weather affects what they read? I had never really thought about it but I realized this morning that all the books I‘ve read up to this point in the year have been dark and twisty, and the weather here has tended towards dark and cold. Now that it‘s warming up a little (no longer below freezing, just freezing), I‘ve picked up a light cozy mystery.
