Bookseller Flora Steele and writer Jack Carrington are having a holiday in Cornwall, while Jack does some research for his new book, to be set there. Naturally, Flora stumbles across a body almost as soon as they arrive; it is the corpse of the man who has rented Primrose Cottage to them, a retired bank manager whose passion was researching events in wartime Cornwall. It seems there are any number of suspects, including a wastrel brother and an estranged wife, but perhaps the crime is rooted further back in the past…. This is the third Flora Steele cozy, set in the mid-1950s and advancing the relationship between our two main characters, although the incipient romance is still being held at bay. I’m enjoying these books, which have a nice sense of character and of place and time, although I have a major quarrel with this particular book - sure, English people think of Cornwall as an English *county*, but true Cornish people like me know it’s actually a separate *country*! So I had to mentally add an “r” into the word every time the author mentioned it….Recommended, but start with Book 1 (“The Bookshop Murder”). ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
