Alex Duggins returned to Folly-on-Weir, a village in the Cotswolds where she grew up, after a failed marriage. She purchased a cottage and the local pub. She discovered the body of a monk with a missing ring. Who is he? Why was he in Folly-on-Weir? A second monk shows up, claiming the man was from his traveling order of monks. I loved the use of DNA in the resolution of the mystery. The snowstorm adds to the atmosphere. Some characters needed further development, but it was a good start to the series. ( ) In Cold, Stella Cameron introduces amateur sleuth Alex Duggins in what will hopefully be a long series. Alex has returned to Folly-on-Weir, the Cotswold village of her youth, after her high-flying London marriage fell apart. She bought the local pub and a big stone house in the hills. But when she finds a dead body in the snowy woods, her little village doesn't seem quite so cozy. Cameron knows how to spin a tale, with an authentic setting and plenty of village characters, including a pair of bookish spinster sisters with a tea shop, a handsome childhood buddy now all grown up, horsey rich manor owners, wandering monks, and a pub-full of possible suspects. Add a blizzard, a sharp-eyed detective, and a galloping plot and Cold is a great way to spend a winter weekend. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
