Welcome to Litsy!

That took longer than expected! Will update the board every month, replacing the books I read from my master list of books.

I could hardly put this down. The first murder is chilling, right up there for me with Mrs. Inglethorp‘s death in He Mysterious Affair at Styles. Very well written. Really enjoying the Dalgliesh mysteries.

I just discovered this series and am loving it!

Fourth in her Adam Dalgleish series and a decided step up in terms of ambition and complexity. I didn't warm to Dalgleish in the first books -he struck me as too much of a woman's wish-fulfillment -but he has become more flawed and interesting in this one. A lot of characters to keep in mind but the plot is flawlessly executed. Despite being written in 1971 she still seems stuck in the fifties as regards social attitudes but that's a minor flaw.
