Kurzbiographie
Josephine Pullein-Thompson is the daughter of writer Joanna Cannan and Captain Harold "Cappy" Pullein-Thompson. She was part of a large literary family that included her maternal aunt May Cannan, a poet, and cousin Gilbert Cannan, a novelist-playwright. She and her three siblings all became writers. Along with her sisters Christine Pullein-Thompson and Diana Pullein-Thompson, she is the author of many horse and pony books aimed mostly at girls, a genre established by their mother in the 1930s, which sold millions of copies. The three sisters wrote a collective autobiography, Fair Girls and Grey Horses: Memories of Country Childhood. Josephine also has written mystery books for adults, including Gin and Murder (1959), Murder Strikes Pink (1963) and They Died in the Spring (1960). She wrote A Place with Two Faces (1972) under the pseudonym Josephine Mann. She has long been involved with the British branch of PEN International. She was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1984.

Spring time in Crossley and Colonel Barclay is found dead. Unfortunately it seems a children's nanny has gone missing. Is there some connection. When the local police fail to find the guilty party Scotland Yard are brought in. So Chief Inspector James Flecker investigates.
An enjoyable enough mystery to deserve three stars.

As Theodora Thistleton was so disliked it meant that when she was found dead there must be multiple suspects. Just as Marion Keswick is to be arrested Scotland Yard are called in to take the case. It is for DCI Flecker and D.S Browning to finish the investigation.
An enjoyable mystery, originally written in 1963

And so we come to the final book in this enjoyable series. The Major has decided to have a week-long camp for pony club riders. Henry and Noel are put in charge of most of the activities, and despite the usual silliness and fussing amongst the younger members, an enjoyable time is held by all.

I'm no equestrienne, have virtually no experience with live horses, so some of the activities and terminology in this and the other books was new to me. It didn't matter, though, because the technical aspects of the story weren't the focus, the characters were, from pretentious and bossy Christopher, to annoyingly selfish Margaret, or clueless Joy. And the author let you see the growth and maturing of these typical young teens throughout the five books.

I plan on rereading the series again, and recommend them as a not-too-serious diversion for even the unhorsed adult reader such as myself.
