HTML:Launching a new series, a cast of lovable rogues face fiendish puzzles and murderous villains in this love letter to Agatha Christie murder mysteries and classic whodunnits. Introducing a new series from the creator of the beloved, bestselling Vinyl Detective novels. Cordelia knows books. An addict-turned-dealer of classic paperbacks, when sheâ??s not spending her days combing the charity shops and jumble sales of suburban London for valuable collectorâ??s items, sheâ??s pining for the woman of her dreams and nimbly avoiding her landlordâ??s demands for rent. The most elusive prize of all, her white whale, has surfaced â?? a set of magnificent, vintage Sleuth Hound crime novels. Gorgeous, and as rare as they come. Just one problem. Theyâ??re not for sale. Still, that wonâ??t stop a resourceful woman like Cordeliaâ?¦ One burglary later, the books are hers. Unfortunately, the man sheâ??s just robbed turns out be one of Londonâ??s most dangerous gangsters, and now heâ??s on her trail and out for blood. Cordeliaâ??s best laid plans to pay the rent and woo the object of her affections start to fall apart, and she realises she may have placed herself in the crosshairs of a villain torn straight fro Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Perhaps because it's the first in the series, there's a lot of time spent on establishing the world and its characters (to the extent that, on more than one occasion, the narrator has to reassure you there will be deaths), but it's a nice place to be and they're largely interesting people. If it's gentle and slight, it is enjoyably so, and I had a very pleasant time in Cordelia's nefarious company.
Oh, and before you buy it for your mum, be warned: it's also a very horny book. ( )
