The Winter Ground
The Winter Ground | Catriona McPherson
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
BAD LUCK? BAD TIMING? OR GOOD OLD-FASHIONED MURDER? When a circus comes to spend the winter at the neighbouring estate to Gilverton, Dandy Gilver's two sons are cock-a-hoop and they are not alone in their excitement. The allure of Tumbling Topsy Turvy, Tiny Truman and the Troupe Prebezhensky also draw the attention of the fast set, who would never normally be seen dead with the nouveau riche Mr & Mrs Albert Wilson. 'The name, darling, tells you everything you need to know.' But when Dandy Gilver is asked to investigate a series of nasty tricks taking place in the circus she discovers, under the colourful charms on the surface of circus life, a hotbed of passion and resentment she cannot begin to understand. But, when one of the artistes suddenly dies, Dandy must somehow get behind the smoke and mirrors to find answers in a world where nothing is as it seems.

Very undecided about this one, but she did keep making me smile, right the way through. And the ending was satisfyingly almost-everything-tied-up-just-not-quite-how-you-expect. The characters, humour and dialogue kept me reading, rather than the storyline, but overall 👍🏽

Book speed-dating No. 3. Let's pick a charity shop impulse buy that it'll be easy to bail & move on from.
Pages 1-3. Meh. Overcooked. This'll be easy. Pages 4-7 Smiling. Appear to be warming to this.
Page 24. Of course, I could just read the whole thing over the next few days, *then* get it off the shelves...

(By page 98 I'll probably be wanting to collect the whole series!)
