The Comforts of Home: A Simon Serrailler Mystery | Susan Hill

I do love this series. Simon is so fascinating, maddening and way too much like me, alas.

so-so

I can never pan a Simon Serrailler mystery, but this one had a few faults that moved me right out of the ā€pickā€¯ zone. DCI Serrailler is one of my absolute favorite male detectivesā€”I told my mother once that if we could bring him to life, I‘d absolutely ask him to marry me (so you see my outright bias)ā€”but in this outing (the 9th), he is a bit self-pitying, with a short temper, and a churlish attitude ā¬‡ļø¸

The requisite justice that readers usually find in mystery/detective novels is just not here. This series is being produced for television as we speak (in UK), and I believe it will play well. I have really enjoyed this series, though, in spite of the shortcomings of this particular book. 5y

TrishB @Cinfhen not looking, not looking.... 5y

Andrew65 This is one series I have not started yet! But guess what @gradcat @Cinfhen @TrishB it is one on my watch list which I want to read. 5y

Cinfhen It sounds good @TrishB @Andrew65 š‰ 5y

gradcat @TrishB Open your eyes! š‘€š‚ Because the series is really good, I promise @Andrew65 & @Cinfhen ! 5y

TrishB Is this where I admit to buying the first one as it was 99p on kindle š 5y

gradcat @Trish YAAASSSS! Was it really only 99p? That‘s great! I think you‘ll like it, but at that price, I won‘t feel too bad if you don‘t (only about your time spent reading it)! š‚ 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat in that case I look forward to getting to it! š‘¨ (edited) 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 Good idea š’�! 5y

9th installment of Simon Serrailler series is not as good as others in the series but still enjoyable writing. Simon is recovering from arm amputation injury from last book on Scottish Island Taransay. He solves murder of a woman and goes back to Lafferton to solve cold case of Kimberly Still who has disappeared. Love this series but I think Hill is losing interest as last book was 3 y ago. Hoping for a next book and think you should give it a try

KathyWheeler I think I must be behind a little bit ā€” I don‘t remember anything happening to Simon‘s arm in any of the books I read! 5y

EadieB @KathyWheeler In the last book, he received a near-fatal injury and in this book they explained that they just had to amputate his arm. 5y

KathyWheeler @EadieB I think I must have missed the last book too. 5y

I‘m looking forward to reading this book 9 of The Simon Serrailler mystery series when it comes out in November. Susan Hill is best known for The Woman in Black but I really enjoy her Simon Serrailler series. Book 1 is The Various Haunts of Men and takes place in Lafferton, a small town near London and deals with missing people. Excellent series not to be missed.
