Summary: TAYLOR'S BEST
Review: Mystery readers tend to confine their interests to one corner of the genre, and in my case, it's English mysteries, particularly golden-age cozies. Alas, there are only so many of them, and this is not one. But never mind. It is a brilliant story. The narrative drive sweeps you along; the characters are believable; one event unfolds into another for a build-up to a deliciously clever ending. It is in the form of a scavenger hunt, informed by a pleasant, witty intelligence. The rest of the books in the series are not as good. I also like Taylor's Lydmouth series; those stories are satisfying, but not the good clean fun that this is.
