5 posts | 9 read | 3 to read
The Lake District Murder opens with the discovery of a faceless body in an isolated garage, then follows Inspector Meredith through a complex investigation where every clue seems to lead only to another puzzle. Was this a bizarre suicide, or something more sinister? Why was the dead man apparently making plans to flee the country? And what does all this have to do with the newly discovered shady business dealings of the garage? All becomes clear in time, but not before John Bude has led readers through a rousing investigation, full of unexpected twists and turns, set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District. This newest installment in the British Library Crime Classics series takes readers to the Lake District for a perfect example of the cozy mystery, sure to charm all fans of the genre.

I liked this story because it focused on people who live in a touristy area all year round. That's me, too!

I ended up almost shouting at the book at one point for the detective being so dense. C'mon, guys, the idea of the tanker taking up something instead of dispensing really isn't hard... also, the breaking of the alibi was far too obvious. Bude's not a bad writer, but not bowling me over either.

New flat has a bath, so I've been having a cosy afternoon after a walk round the park. Am rather wondering how this one comes together...

Some location appropriate #holidayreading courtesy of the British Library Crime Classics series. Love the covers on these - such handsome looking books. And great to rediscover 'lost' Golden Age crime writers!
