I was so happy to receive this fantastic review of 'Too Many Cooks' Thanks, too, to all of you for the lovely comments I've been receiving - I hope you'll look out for 'A Fool and His Money' which will be published in 2015. |
"I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the second Bartlett and Boase Mysteries "Too Many Cooks" having thoroughly enjoyed "Empty Vessels" with its startling climax which kept me guessing to the end. Marina had set a standard which was surely going to be difficult to match. I'm pleased I kept an open mind because I wasn't disappointed! Headless corpses and missing fingers, lies deceit and false leads ensured the plot was fresh and worthy of not putting down lest you forget what had just happened in a myriad of sub plots and distractions.
Marina again kept me wondering about the identity of the killer, and interwove factual intrigues of Egyptology with twentieth century policing systems. Her knowledge of Falmouth might not be apparent to the casual reader who has never visited that wonderful Cornish town, but that was just the thing which brought her story to life for me personally, having walked the streets alleys and back lanes as a young constable four decades ago - all mentioned with vivid accuracy in her plot. When she describes the interior of the old long-since abandoned Falmouth Police Station it is as if she had known it personally.
Bartlett and Boase never fail to keep on track and she never once detracts from ensuring that these two main characters come across as believable officers and the personal relationship which is developing between them. Well done on making this reviewer a convert to novels which no author has managed to make me pick up - until the arrival of Bartlett and Boase!"
