Flowers for His Funeral

Ms. Granger is one of the best English country village writers out there. Her books do not have cyncial characters in them like so many in this genre do. The stories are intelligent and the mysteries are tricky. And Markby and Mitchell are a unique crime fighting duo. One is a cop and one works for the British foreign service. Meredith and Alan do not get to work on the same puzzle very often even though their paths seem to cross at a lot of murders, but in this one Meredith is doing some investigative work for her office and Alan is a visiting copper when a murder occurs at the famous Chelsea flower show. I love the light humour and the eccentric village characters that each book brings. I am really enjoying this entertaining series.

Well, you either like this genre or not. I do, and this series is one of the best. Great relaxing stuff. not are trying as Graham, not as bleak as Dexter, nor as intellectual as Sayers, but fun stuff all the same.
