Happy to keep reading these - I think book 4 is out May time. Like Dansecu and Emily Summers is credible. Set around where I live, this makes the setting really interesting. I have recommended to a friend and we may set up a day out visiting all the key sites! ]]> Review7451044630 Mon, 31 Mar 2025 12:10:16 -0700 /review/show/7451044630 Jane gave 4 stars to Upon Dark Waters: A Police Procedural Crime Novel (The Chichester Crime Mysteries Book 2) by Matthew J. Evans
Enjoyable - the characters are developed in book 2 and the plot is solid - I dd guess the outcome but no enjoyment spoiled.

bookshelves: to-read
Read on half term in Clavelshay - just what I needed to read - all about priorities and finding what works. ]]> Review285725687 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 03:19:51 -0700 /review/show/285725687 Jane gave 5 stars to King Lear (Paperback) by William Shakespeare
I never get tired of teaching this though given the fact I have a Language group this and next year may mean this was the last time!!
NB: 2 years later and I got to teach it again...
...and now for the last time! ]]> Review3731118854 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 03:18:57 -0700 /review/show/3731118854 Jane gave 4 stars to An Inspector Calls (Paperback) by J.B. Priestley

Living near Chichester, I especially enjoyed the setting but as a crime novel this was far better than I had anticipated. Well-written, well-plotted and really engaging characters - will certainly be looking out or books by Matthew Evans. ]]> Review7302868315 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 12:49:31 -0800 /review/show/7302868315 Jane gave 4 stars to Just Ignore Him (Hardcover) by Alan Davies
Really well-written, very moving and not an ounce of self-pity (where he would have every right to it).

As a quick detective read it was ok. Got a bit irritated by the protagonist, Declan Miller because I think I'd be irritated by him in real life. It was a bit predictable but for term time, it did the job. ]]> Review7202296528 Sat, 11 Jan 2025 09:14:19 -0800 /review/show/7202296528 Jane gave 4 stars to Six Motives for Murder (Brackerley Prison Mysteries #2) by Frances Brody
New Year's Day read of my annual Brody Christmas present from Ma. Enjoyed it but do miss Kate Shackleton! ]]>
