Leslie recommended this book - said her book group had read it. It was pretty good - and all the reviews were excellent. It was entertaining and somewhat compelling. But there was something missing - not sure what - a little too "pat" or something. A book collector loses his wife, goes to England and finds a mystery. Then he solves the mystery.
And apparently they all lived happily ever after!
They started a new book group at church for the "older" ladies - and I qualified!! They seem to be going for crime or mystery novels so far.
This is a prolific author I had never even heard of - but the "older ladies" all knew him very well! Apparently his books continue to appear because his son writes them under the same name. Kind of a geriatric Nancy Drew series I guess!
But this was a better read than the one above - very fast paced - I read it in an afternoon - did not have it figured out either. I might get another one of his - there is a whole shelf of them at The Book Rack - for the next plane ride!!
They always involve horses apparently - the main character is an accountant - and an amateur steeple chase jockey - in London.
