I love John Bude's mysteries and I loved those in this book.
Both are highly entertaining and gripping, a mix of comedy of manners and Golden Age mystery.
The characters are well developed, quirky and likeable, the setting is vivid and lovely.
The mystery are complex, full of twists and turns, and the second one was a great "locked room" mystery with a surprising end. I got the culprit of the first one but I appreciated the complex solution.
I can't wait to read other stories by this great author.

This is a perfect escapist book, entertaining and engrossing.

It's not the first book I read by Malcom Gladwell and always appreciated his style of writing and his being a great populariser and a good storyteller. I don't always agree with his ideas but they always made me think and reflect.
This book is no exception. I loved how he tell the story and build his theories using historical and real life examples even if I didn't always agree with his findings.
I think that one must consider that is a book that will be read by lots of people who aren't experts of psychology or communications and considering the target this books works well.
I liked it and it made me reflects even if I didn't agree with him a lot of times.
I think this a book you can love or hate, I loved the storytelling even if I had a lot of doubts about his conclusion.
I want to recommend it to anyone who want to read some interesting stories and reflects on his theories.
If you want a serious book about communication this is not the right one.

It was an interesting read as it tells the story by the POV of the peasants, looking at their life in every aspect.
We use to think about other ages as moments when life was simpler and easier.
The author does a great job in explaining that we are wrong and I liked his style of writing and the humour.
An excellent and informative read, highly recommended.
