Undemanding whodunnit
This is a well-constructed undemanding story about Kate Ivory, a writer of historical romances living in Oxford (England), who finds herself involved again in some dark deeds. The story has no violence or sex except by inference, but some sharp characterisation of the rather odd people that live and work in the famous university. There are also some erudite references...

An interesting series
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I identify with Kate, a mildy successful writer with a humdrum life except for the mysteries she gets herself mixed up in at Oxford. This one was particularly interesting because of the "after-life" narrative that began every chapter. A nice relaxing read, especially just before falling asleep.

Undemanding whodunnit,
By The Bookworm Sailor "Richard" (All at Sea) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Fall (Hardcover)
This is a well-constructed undemanding story about Kate Ivory, a writer of historical romances living in Oxford (England), who finds herself involved again in some dark deeds. The story has no violence or sex except by inference, but some sharp characterisation of the rather odd people that live and work in the famous university. There are also some erudite references which, if you pick them up, will give you a glow of pleasure at your own cleverness, but if you don't will not cause a ripple in the smooth passage of the story. I'm going to find some more of her books. Definitely good for a short air trip, or on the beach.
