The Sussex Downs Murder by John Bude
Rate this book

Like a number of reviewers I guessed the greater part of the solution to this mystery very early on and I’m not sure what kept me reading, other than the pure delight of being part of the detection process. Not thrilling, or atmospheric, but fun, non ...more

Harmonicas Round my Hat by Sue Thompson
Rate this book

This is one of the most good natured and good hearted books I’ve read in a long time. Picking it up at a Meet the Author event I started reading it and barely put it down till I finished it. Short it might be, but it reminds you that a life of love a ...more

Lady's Well by L.J. Ross
Rate this book
Clear rating
Well this was an easy read. It kept me entertained whilst the WiFi was down and I can see why this series is popular. A bit thin - I guessed one strand of the mystery and the other was just about passable- but Ross is a phenomenon for a reason. She k ...more

The Vase Mystery by Vernon Loder
Rate this book
Clear rating
This was a little disappointing. The characters were numerous and some unnecessary which just served to make the puzzle difficult to get into and the Inspector- a gentlemanly but somewhat faceless stickler for routine policing- didn’t play fair. I ma ...more

Foster by Claire Keegan
Rate this book
Clear rating
Claire Keegan says more in 100 words than most do in three times as many. A glorious gem of a book, full of quiet depth. Ireland becomes magical in Keegans hands. She is like Elizabeth Taylor (the author one) in her ability to load small incidents wi ...more

This House Is Haunted
by John Boyne (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
I have just read this again in 2025 and the spookiest thing about it is I have not the slightest memory of it. Is it pastiche? Are we supposed to think ‘unreliable narrator’? I’m not sure- it is certainly playing free and wild with every gothic clich ...more

Murder as a Fine Art by Carol Carnac
Rate this book
Clear rating
I agree with others here that the characters, of the potential suspects at least, are so undeveloped that it is hard to make headway with a solution to the mystery. However, Carnac (whose Macdonald mysteries as ECR Lorac are superb) writes so well, a ...more

Tour de Force by Christianna Brand

Clear rating
Well of course, if you want to criticise this book for melodrama or for having a cast of fairly unpleasant characters you can easily justify your view. I also think the eventual explanation is a bit far fetched. But it is a story I’d like to see dram ...more

John Keats
“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
John Keats, Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne

John Clare
“I found the poems in the fields,
And only wrote them down.”
John Clare, The Later Poems, 1837-1864

John Keats
“I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the Imagination.”
John Keats

Bruce Robinson
“I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.”
Bruce Robinson, Withnail and I: the Original Screenplay

Jonathan Coe
“Objectivity is just male subjectivity.”
Jonathan Coe, The House of Sleep
