4.0 out of 5 stars
Death in an English Village,
By Alice Kingsbury (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dreadful Hollow: A Nigel Strangeways Mystery (Paperback)
This is an excellent mystery featuring Nigel Strangeways, who is called upon to investigate poison pen letters that have been disturbing a village. There is an interesting cast of characters, including a beautiful, paralyzed woman and a vicar with a sad secret. There are hidden conflicts with friends and family members and a dramatic conclusion.The author tends to stereotype the villagers as being greatly different from the gentry, which seems to be a common English theme. However,the Chantry and Blick families are very well described and unique.Their personalities can be clearly seen. A very readable mystery.

Not one of Blake's best,
By Daniel Quinn (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dreadful Hollow: A Nigel Strangeways Mystery (Paperback)
I write reviews only when I feel readers need to be warned off inferior books. (I wish others would do the same more often.) I'm a fan of Nicholas Blake's work, but THE DREADFUL HOLLOW (while not quite dreadful) was an ultimately dreary exercise, full of so much tortuous reasoning that by the time I reached the final chapter (appropriately titled "I Hate the Dreadful Hollow"), in which all is finally revealed, I no longer cared. Save your money on this one.
