 Death in the Garden January 9, 2007
8 out of 12 found this review helpful
The reviews were great but I was disappointed. The story seemed to move awfully slow and I found myself having to go back and reread what I read yesterday. It wa good but disappointing. Interestingly different plot.
 Cold case, hot mystery January 9, 2007
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
I ordered this book because the description promised an entertaining mystery set in post-war England. Yes, it was that, but much more! From the beginning, the reader is drawn into another world, another era, populated with richly detailed characters and intriguing hints of past events. Ultimately I was able to guess what happened, but I was successful only because the author has done an outstanding job of fleshing out the personalities of the key players. I am now in search of every book this author has produced!
A Literate, and Thoughtful Mystery January 3, 2007
29 out of 31 found this review helpful
This book was a wonderful surprise. I had not been aware of Elizabeth Ironside (the nom de plume for Lady Catherine Manning), until I read a recommendation for this book. I took a chance and ordered it. This is one of the most literate of British mysteries. At times, the writing took my breath away. It is rare to find this kind of prose, and I ordered a second book by this author. I was not disappointed. To read Death in the Garden, is to read the finest descriptive writing available today. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I gave the book to a friend, and she called me to rave about the writing. It is that good!
 A Mysterious Maze of Relationships and Murder... October 6, 2006
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
A wonderful British mystery novel with a surprising twist at the end. And yet it is so much more.
It is a murder mystery with a little bit of history and just a hint of the supernatural. Underlying it all is an exploration of the intricacies of human relationships over the course of a life time and between intersecting generations. Did you ever take the time to wonder what your mother, grandmother, great aunt was like before she was cast in the role of mother, grandmother, great aunt?
I loved this book and can't wait for Ms. Ironside to write another.
