EuroCrime review

Wonderful quotable review of Gone West from the EuroCrime mystery review website:

".....This very gripping story rushes on to its startling conclusion.

"This story could be pigeon-holed as a 'cosy' or a 'Country House' mystery, perhaps similar to many others written by authors such as Dorothy L Sayers, Agatha Christie or even the stories by P G Wodehouse. The author who is English born but based in Oregon, USA, has done her research (listing her substantial resources) and the story has lots of evocative touches of the English world of 1926. I found it particularly engaging. The cast of characters is very large but the author has written such detailed pen-portraits of them that I was never confused. This is her twentieth mystery story featuring Daisy Dalrymple, but my first and I enjoyed very much. Recommended."

The Joys of Research

_I don't think I posted this link here before--my blog on Murderous Musings about  The joys of research.  It's some fascinating and amusing stuff I found when I was writing GONE WEST (out Jan. 17th), the next Daisy mystery.

Take a look and make sure you click on the link to the Smedley's Hydro handbook. Health spa a la 1920s!

This is probably the final version of the next Daisy book, coming in January 2012.

I think it's terrific. I like that they've put Daisy's new car in it (click on Gwynne Eight in the list lower right to see photos).

How do you like it?
