A Quiet Life in the Country by T.E. Kinsey
4.0
Quite enjoyable. Veers dangerously into Wodehouse territory at times. I wouldn't have been too surprised if Gussie Finknottle had made an appearance.
However, the dialogue is good and the author managed to slip some jokes in along the way, which, apart from one rather laboured pun on the names of fish usually made me smile, if not laugh outright.
There's a nod to the statistical incidence of murder in British television soaps (Counting Midsomer Murders as a soap) that did make me laugh. For a while I believe that Brookside Close was the most dangerous address in the country.
I will have a go at the second in the series
