Died and gone to Devon
I spotted this in the library and had to pick it up!
What a great title, and delightful front cover.
I’d never heard of T.P.Fielden, and to be honest the book didn’t gel with me immediately, but I stuck with it anyway.
Plus points, no swearing or sex scenes – just a fairly plain jane murder story with the odd bit of inter-office bitchiness thrown in.
The book is a follow on from others which chart the sleuth like skills of Huguette Dimont elsewhere in the fictional town of Temple Regis. Maybe that is why it took me a while to figure out the characters.
As a once prolific camera man I identified with Terry the Riviera Express photographer, who captured great shots of suspects.
The author manages to play with the money grabbing tendencies of the Tory party to paint a grim picture of the local MP, who disappears then turns up again wearing a rather close fitting tie.
The best bits for me were reliving our own time in Devon and picturing the landscape and towns littered throughout the plot.
In summary – Light Hearted Fun – 6 out of 10.
