A review by cheryl6of8
Flight of a Witch by Ellis Peters

4.0

This book had a bit of a slow start during the long first chapter. I actually tried it once or twice in the last year or so and never got more than a page or two. This time, I kept going (dodging homework is good for something!) and by the end of chapter 2 found it hard to set aside for very long. It was not action-packed or very suspenseful, but there was the frustration of a nut that would not be cracked, for the reader as much as for the professional and amateur sleuths in the story. The mystery was as much psychological as anything else and was quite good. I was impressed by the growth exhibited by Tom Fenyon in the course of the story and found his character and that of DI Felse rather compelling.
