I intentionally did NOT look at any of the websites or any information about these books. I did not want this to be spoiled for me.
The book is grand fun. Completely and utterly charming. I am quite in love with Sidney, though, like one of the key female characters in the series, I doubt I would be a good match for a Vicar...
Apparently, this is the first in a series of 6 books that Bloomsbury intends to publish between now and 2017. I imagine that this will make a wonderful TV show and I am counting on you, Tabitha,to keep me posted when it starts!!! Tabitha - apparently he sometimes chairs the Edinburgh International Book Festival. He is the Artistic Director the International Literature Festival in Bath, so he must be a Jane-ite!
There is a wonderful website on the series - take a look here!
Well worth a read if you like a gentle mystery - I believe he must be the heir apparent of Agatha Christie - for some of you that will be a negative, for others, a positive!
Sadly, I will now have to wait until May of 2013 to find out what Sidney is up to next. Never has a Vicar made backgammon look so sexy....
Have a lovely Monday. I will be the slightly starved one that will pose for their OOTD tomorrow night. I won't be looking peaked - yet....
Well, I love Agatha Christie (actually just watched a couple Inspector Poirot episodes on Netflix last night), so this sounds like something I would really enjoy. Thank you for sharing WMM, I hadn't heard of this series before.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I could see myself starring as a rich socialite too. Can you imagine all the fabulous clothing you would get to wear? What fun that would be! :)
Well, I honestly think you will look it - very retro and very good fun!
ReplyDeleteI think I would play the role of the housemaid - watching, watching, watching! have a great day!
