It is a fact without dispute that the British village is one of the
most dangerous places a person can live. Many dark secrets are harboured
and murder is likely at any moment. If a village fete is in progress
you can be certain someone's a goner. , so goes this great review/feature on my novel Granny Smith Investigates over at Mac Captures Crime. Click HERE
Granny Smith Investigates answers the question, "how might Miss Marple
turned out had she been born in the 1950s instead of the 1860s." She is
referred to as "Miss Marple on steroids" several times in the course of
the s generally disregard the proven crime solving record of the amateur
sleuth. As in Gary's other writing, he puts great care in crafting his
characters, gives them dimension, then puts them in a setting where
their personalities fit the story. A second novel is due out later this
year and Gary promises a more "densely plotted whodunit" but not at the
expense of the characters. I'm particularly interested to see what he
does with Gerald, Granny's son. I keep thinking about the character
Daffyd in the BBC comedy Little Britain.
