Ce livre a été écrit par Véronica Stallwood, il est génial!
On retrouve l'ambience "England", c'est pas mal.
Je vous donne la 4eme de couverture de mon édition (Headline):
" In a attempt to come to terms with the death of her close friend, Andrew, Kate Ivory has escaped Oxford and found sanctuary in a friend's cottage a few miles away. Here, in the peace of the countryside,she hopes to find a healing tranquility and the inspiration for her next novel. But it soon becomes evident that her new home is not all she had hoped it would be.
She has barely had time to unpack before her gardener, Donna, is found dead in mysterious circumstances and Kate is reluctantly drawn into an investigation. Unconviced by the official police verdict, she starts to uncover the feuds and illegal goings-on behind the genteel village façades.Why do the Hope-Stanhopes refuse to speak to the fullers? How did the Fullers make so much money so quickly?
And what secret is the Reverend Widdows hiding? There is plenty of gossip, and everyone has a theory about what happened to Donna, but Kate must relinquish her exile and return to Oxford before she can discover the truth."
Kate se rend dans un village proche d'Oxford dans la maison d'una amie pour se remettre de la mort de son ami. Là au bout de quelques jours, Donna, sa jardinière, est assassinée. Kate va mener l'enquête accompagnée de sa mère et du révérend du village.
Mon avis:
-Une histoire bien menée, même s'il y a quelques longueurs.
-Des personnages attachants.
-Parfois très drôle (grace à la mère de l'héroïne).
-Agréable à lire.
