9. "Dead in Devon" by Stephanie Austin

Dec 2022

A cozy set in Ashburton in South Devon. It's the first in the series, but not the first I've read. Pretty standard fare.

Earlier I finished "We Begin At The End" by Chris Whitaker. Everyone has been raving about it, and it is good, but not THAT good.

The new "Three Pines" adaptation started on TV this week. My wife, who hasn't read the books, loved it. I was less keen. The constant use of mobile phones in a place that notably has no coverage made me grind my teeth, as did Gamache's claim to have visited the cathedral in Cambridge. There isn't one.

Have a good week, with plenty of reading.
