Murder in the Museum
Murder in the Museum | Simon Brett
1 post | 1 read
Bracketts, an Elizabethan house near the town of Fethering, is about to be turned into a museum. Once the home of celebrated poet Esmund Chadleigh, it has been decided that it should now become a shrine to his life and poetry. But the transition from house to museum is running far from smoothly, and Carole soon begins to regret her decision to be on the Board as she witnesses bitter antagonism and rivalry amongst the other members. Then a sudden discovery is made. Buried in the kitchen garden is a human skeleton. And before too long, there is a second body, not yet cold . . . ‘Deftly contrived, light-hearted mysteries’ The Times

Mehso-so

I didn‘t really care for this one. The mystery was interesting - you knew something shady must have happened far in the past, but you just couldn‘t figure out *what*. If not for that, I wouldn‘t have continued.

I didn‘t like any of the characters, and I liked them less as the author spent a lot of time on repeated psychological descriptions of their personalities, thoughts, reactions, interactions, it was almost more of a drama than a mystery.

mabell I started the tagged Simon Brett near Christmas, but DNF‘d after a few pages. Not my style at all.

I remember reading and enjoying one or two of his Mrs. Pargeter mysteries years ago - I would try one again, but now I‘m nervous to go back. 😬
