redfiona99After my fourth attempt at reading "Black is the Colour of my True Love's Heart", I switched to another Ellis Peters book.
"Fallen Into The Pit" was much more my sort of thing, so this is probably an example of why you should always give an author a second chance. The characters are well drawn, and Dominic Felse is such a solid portrait of a teenage boy that I almost want to give the book the extra half star on LibraryThing.
There's a few loose ends, but I think I'm drawing the assumptions the author wants me to make on a few of them (even if they're slightly horrible and sinister assumptions).
A good read.
Death and the Joyful Woman by Ellis Peters
A Man Lay Dead by Ngaio Marsh
Enter a Murderer by Ngaio Marsh
Thrones, Dominations by Dorothy L. Sayers
The Virgin in the Ice by Ellis Peters
A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters
Grey Mask by Patricia Wentworth
The Case is Closed by Patricia Wentworth
Mystery Mile by Margery Allingham
The Leper of Saint Giles by Ellis Peters
She wrote a lot, hence a lot of the suggestions are her other books, and there's a reason 3/4 Grand Dames of Crime appear in the list.
