Slow start, but worth the wait

April 10, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I love the Inspector Barnaby series, but to be honest I almost quit reading this one about halfway through. Mainly, this was because I read mysteries mostly FOR the mystery. Of course the characters need to draw me in, but what I like most is the puzzle, & the search through the labyrinth of clues & truth & lies, to the discovery of the perpetrator. And I love spending time with the good inspector. So, when I had read 50% of the book, and still the crime that would bring in the inspector had not occurred, I almost gave up. However, I've never left a book unfinished, & I'm grateful I kept on. When it happened, I was expecting the crime, but the ins & outs and discovering the full scenario were very enjoyable. And of all the books so far, this one finally had some peripheral characters that I genuinely liked, which is sometimes lacking in these novels. The ending was unexpected, which is always a good thing. If you have the patience to get through the first half of the book, that patience will be rewarded. Highly recommended.

A Ghost In The Machine: A Chief Inspector...

October 6, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is so deep and complex, yet engrossing and vastly entertaining, all at the same time. One can see how many different episodes of the TV show it inspired are all wrapped-up in this book. Very deep characterizations and attention to details, as well as great character and plot development, make this a wonderful and engaging read. The plot is very deep and engrossing: many lines intertwine to give the reader a very good time unraveling its twists. An EXCELLENT and intelligently written escape into the minds and worlds of many characters and their lives, as well as a wonderfully deep series of mysteries, all packed into one intricately plotted and deeply drawn storyline. A wonderful mystery to unravel!

A great mystery read

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

DEATH IN DISGUISE: Inspector Barnaby #3 written by Caroline Graham.
The Lodge of the Golden Windhorse is a new-age commune/cult and a subject of gossip, ridicule and suspicions for the local village inhabitants. When murders occur on the grounds, Causton CID’s DCI Barnaby and Sergeant Gavin Troy are sent to investigate and solve the cases.
Author Caroline Graham is at her wittiest and most scathing in presenting the characters of this ‘closed community’.
A great read. ****

What Everyone Should Know about Weird Beliefs.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

To be quite honest, I did not enjoy this book as much as the first two.......maybe it was the subject matter, I am not sure. I do think that Caroline Graham is very clever in making the least person suspected to end up being the murderer, but I felt that with this book a lot of it's content was not necessary........just put there to make the book longer. However, her research into different topics is very good.

Caroline Graham is up to her usual compelling, literate ...

June 9, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Caroline Graham is up to her usual compelling, literate fashion, with plot and sub-plots interwoven and spiced with Shakespearean quotes. If there is a drawback, it is that with so many stories to connect, the ending may seem anti-climatic, as one winnows down the candidates to the only logical one who could have timed the murder to his or her purpose, and then finishing with "afterwards," or epilogues, of the characters. It is not the same problem as Homer had with Achilles or Hercules, but then he was an oral poet and used epithets to keep the memory alive. Graham has an epic mystery of sorts, to handle, but generally does a spot-on job, as with her previous book, "A Place of Safety," which I am also reading.

Wow, what an ending...

September 18, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Her first in the Chief inspector Barnaby series irritates at times, variable character development, staccato plot lines, absolutely awful domestic confrontations, you name it, the writer's pitfalls are all fallen into. (Her sentences, however are much more succinct than this.) You like the victim, wish it were one of the many other objectionable characters that got 'topped', and long for more US Cavalry action from Barnaby himself. And then there's the growing suspicion we have a chic-flick book here. And then there's the breath defying ending....Wade through the sometimes turgidity, reader, it's worth it.

Skip to about half way through the book!

October 2, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

"Slow starting" is an understatement. It takes half the book before the first person is done away with. Although some of Graham's books start this way, this book is way over the top. The first part is a semi-interesting character study of people in the typical small English village, but hardly a mystery. She takes WAY too long to get the story set up. As this is #7 in the series, I wonder if she was getting bored with Barnaby. Interesting characters but not particularly a good mystery.

Puzzling story. Unsure of Graham's intent with this book. Structure revisions might have helped, frankly unsure.

December 25, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Strange book. Inventive use of colorful characters, though most were two dimensional. The story draws the reader in, but first the reader must slog through lengthy, action-free description. Barnaby first appears at the book's midpoint and investigates only infrequently. Odd, unsatisfactory ending. I missed Ms. Graham's customary use of centering Barnaby in both the story and detection. Was this novel an experiment? If yes, then I urge her to return to her original structure and employment of Barnaby.
