The Bude is old fashioned but in a different way and I liked it for it's solid workmanlike quality.

I haven't got The Cornish Coast Murder yet but will probably pick it up as a souvenir next time I'm in the BL. I'm loving this series of reprints.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-35261011311697134022014-03-31T12:20:14.971+01:002014-03-31T12:20:14.971+01:00I have got to read this!

I'm tossing up between that or Gladys Mitchell's On Your Marks (Greyladies). Thanks for the review.llynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.com
