I love this sort of book... A rival for M.C. Beaton,my favourite of all time'A clever and beautifully written tale of small-town wartime life with a good mystery - and a most unusual solution... The Room of the Dead is funny,amusing and surprising,and it will keep you guessing at a darker and more unnerving story'
