In this cozy British mystery the actual murder does not occur in the first 100 pages. One suspects who the victim will be, and one sees a number of people who might wish to commit murder. The charm of fifty-something Mrs Mallory, her perceptiveness and her insight into human nature, made the book enjoyable, even though I guessed the murderer before the final chapter. For me,Hazel Holt's mysteries are an antidote to a too harried life. They are gentle and a little slow, a relaxing read.

This charming cozy is set in Philly with a cardiologist who makes house calls and who gets additional income from his side job as a investigator. The secondary characters are colorful. An enjoyable read.


Life Beyond Measure: Letters to My Great-Granddaughter (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 9/20/2010


Sidney Poitier, at 80 years of age, reflects on his life in letters to his first great grandchild. At times Mr Poitier sounds more like a philosopher than an actor. It is amazing that someone who could barely read as a teenager,became such a great actor. This book describes that journey.

This was a mixture of a study of upper class life at the turn of the 20th century and a mystery. After I got into it I found it entertaining.
