Persons Unknown

Miss Pink #5

by Gwen Moffat

The delightful Miss Pink, Gwen Moffat’s amateur detective, is paying a visit to the remote village of Abersaint on the coast of West Wales...

She’s there to join the birthday celebrations of her old friend Roderick Bowen: although it’s his 87th birthday, he’s still full of energy and recently emerged victorious in a battle with the atomic energy Authority, halting their plan to build a fast breeder reactor on his land.

But Roderick has just had a nasty fall down the granary steps, and he believes that someone was trying to kill him. Then there’s the mysterious death in a fire of the flamboyant Sandra Maitland. Does Miss Pink have a murder to investigate?

Reviews

[Jillian · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good three and a half stars for me. I liked Miss Pink - her style, strength, self-reliance, common-sense, no-nonsense and understated thought-processes. I even enjoyed the convoluted plot structure. I did, however, find it difficult to keep all the characters clear in my mind. I nearly drew myself a diagram! Once again, a downside of eBooks is that it isn't easy to flip back and keep track of who's who.

Nonetheless, I liked it enough to keep turning pages - and to want to read more of the series.
