A review by samanthawattam
The Affair of the Thirty-Nine Cufflinks by James Anderson
4.0
This is the third and last book in a trilogy of murder mysteries written by James Anderson and set at Alderley, the seat of the Burfords. The family hold the funeral, memorial and Will reading for the Honourable Florence ‘Florrie’ Saunders who had been 96 years old. However, the reading of the Will proves to be a catalyst for murder.
I inadvertently borrowed this book thinking it was Book 2 of this series but it isn’t its Book 3 so had to stop go and borrow actual Book 2 - The Affair of the Mutilated Mink. I was worried therefore reading the 2 books so closely together I might get bored but ... I am pleased to say I think this was the best of the last 2 in the series and I’m amazed I managed to pick the murderer! I found it funny in parts and I liked the whole set up of the story and the characters which carries through each book and the time period between each book is about 6 months. An enjoyable read.
