Plenty of twists and turns,two stories criss-crossing. First book of this author I have read. Make note to try others.
this is a book about Atherstone and Mancetter and surrounding villages.It links the names of places and explains their origins. Also the names of streets etc are linked to past events, historical people both local and national. I found it interesting as my family comes from that area.Both sets of grandparents,my parents and my granddaughter are buried in the cemetry opposite St Peter's Church ,Mancetter. That is the church where I was married nearly 40 years ago.
this is a brilliant trilogy. It has inspired me to find a pattern for a gansey with the Eriskay patterns
This is a well written tale. The vocabulary used several steps up from the usual especially when memories are being related.

This is an incredible book. Full of feelings and emotions as the result of days gone by. The ending is expected and unexpected. The audible edition I listened to was narrated/read by Jim Broadbent and he is brilliant!!
This is quite thought provoking as to what might just go wrong with our relationship with animals,wild or domestic.
This is written in an easy to read manner and is laced not with just murder,mayhem and blood but with a droll sense of humour. She tells not just how thw sights she sees at murder scenes and in the morgue but also how the continuing years of war affected her in particular and the rest of the country . I read this very quickly and plan to re-read Forty years of Murder which is Professor Keith Simpson's autobiography
