Lois Meade Mystery

review 1: I've not read a book in this series in a while, and I really enjoyed re-meeting these characters. Okay, the plot was very contrived, still the story was great fun. Snakes in the village store, frogs on the stars, and a water gun filled with red dye...what??? But, the story was a hoot to read. Ann Purser comes up with the strangest crimes- like Nancy Drew with an English accent and some Clorox wipes.
review 2: A delightful portrayal of life in a small English village with the slight twist that there are murders around every corner and they always seem to involve Lois Mead! Lois is set to work on the track of some very unpleasant characters, both human and reptilian in this story, but she has a particular interest as the nasty incidents that start occurring a... morere aimed at her daughter Josie who runs the corner shop. Of course Lois in not going to let this pass without doing a bit of 'ferritin'' of her own, along with her long time friend and admirer Inspector Cowgill, whose nephew is married to Josie. The whole family become involved in solving the case, as do Loises staff at New Brooms cleaning company. Once Lois gets the bit between her teeth she never gives up and her tenacity is usually rewarded.This was a lovely 'cozy' read but Ann Purser does touch on some very important issues in her books and highlights some of the unpleasant crimes that take place under our noses every day. less
