Helpful Score: 1
Of course, to my proclamation of, "one of Yorke's best" must be added that this is only in my humble opinion! :)
But I (accidentally) read this book for the second time, and enjoyed it almost as much. Who can say the same for many mystery books? Unfortunately, one trait that Yorke shares with the rest of her genre is the actual titles of the books get interchangeable in one's head.
"A Small Deceit" features all the aspects of Yorke which I have come to enjoy so much... the setting of the small British town... people always making tea for other people... several interesting storylines happening at once and which naturally (and quickly) intertwine... sympathetic characters who we hope somehow might "catch a break" even in the wake of tragedy...
Highly recommended to fans of Yorke!
PS: I'm not "into" mysteries, but I happened upon Yorke and love how her story-telling isn't so much old-fashioned but tends to leave out salacious details or perverse crimes.
