4.5* rounded to 5
This is the second instalment in this lovely series and I thoroughly enjoyed even if the tone is a bit darker and there's less humour.
Vera is a great character: clever and strong willed, able to see beyond the appearances.
I love Shady Hollow and the inhabitants, you get used to this cast of characters and I hope that Vera and Orville will found the HEA.
The mystery is solid, full of twists, and I had my suspects but it was a pleasure to discover the culprit.
This series is becoming a favorite and I can't wait for the next story.
Highly recommended.

4,5* upped to 5
This is another gripping and highly entertaining instalment in this excellent series. The title could "Eleanor vs the Bright Young Thing" as we meet her dealing with a new friend who belongs the BYT set and she's trying to turn Eleanor into a fashionable and silly lady.
Things do not work as expected and Eleanor is involved into another investigation.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story even if I found it a bit slow at the beginning. The investigation was exciting and I was happy to catch with the usual characters, Gladstone and Clifford above all.
The mystery is solid and full of surprises. The solution is unexpected and I appreciated how it work.
i cannot wait to read the next story and look forward to the evolution in the life of these beloved characters.
Highly recommended.

3,5* upped to 4
This is a good thriller featuring a cast of unlikeable characters and constant sense of doom plut the usual Christopher Fowler humour.
I think a great part of the rating is due to expectations: even if I read and enjoyed stories that weren't Bryant&May this was the first after the end of the series and I was expecting something different.
I like how the character were developed and how they were unlikeable. I also loved the dark humour which is always present.
The thriller was average, a bit to slow to keep me on the edge till the end.
I'm sure that my rate would be better if I was going to read it next year.

An interesting, well researched, and well written biography of a man who is at the center of the contemporary history. A benefactor for some, a very bad guy for others.

This is an amazing book that moved, made me wish I could read it while being on a montain top, and love the great style of writing.
There's a lot of passion, there's experiences, the story of a climber, and reflections on motherhood.
It's a poignant and fascinating book.
Highly recommended.
