BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

All three books this month are crime novels – one recently written, one 20 years old and one from the golden age of crime writing.

The first is Richard Osman’s “The Man Who Died Twice”, a follow up to “The Thursday Murder Club”.  Like many sequels I thought it not quite as good as the first novel but a good crime caper nevertheless.

“Death of a Celebrity”, a Hamish Macbeth mystery by M C Beaton, is a police procedural – well plotted and written. Quite charming.

However, if you have not read it before, I recommend Agatha Christie’s “Three Act Tragedy” – a great plot and a well told story.
