      Well written. Not as fast paced as today’s novels, but enjoyable throughout.
    • 4/5
      Although I read this book a bit out of sequence since I read the next one first, I still really enjoyed this. I love the Meredith Mitchell and Alan Markby series, and I'm glad that this is only the beginning of the series, since I still have a lot of books to read yet. I can't wait to see the relationship develop between these two. This book brings Meredith back to Bamford for a week while she house-sits for Markby's sister's family, and throws her into Alan's investigation into a body found buried in the earth right where a development for houses is being built. Of course, Meredith can't resist doing some investigation on her own. A whole series of a family's secrets come out during the course of the investigation. For English Village Mysteries, they don't get much better than this or any of Ms. Granger's books.
