A review by kindleandilluminate
Death and the Joyful Woman by Ellis Peters

3.0

Ellis Peters's voice is delicate, charming, and just exciting enough in the action sequences, exactly what you want out of a cozy English murder mystery. The only real complaint I have about this otherwise worthy successor to the enjoyable Fallen Into the Pit is that
SpoilerDom uses the exact same trick to catch the killer as he did in #1, and it all goes pretty much the same way with the climax. I feel a little cheated.


Still, a perfectly enjoyable series, if less fascinating than her better known Cadfael books.
