Silver Dagger winner, Mystery Guild Featured Alternate
I enjoyed this book immensely. The victim was a member of a group of mystery fans. The detective is fat, underappreciated, head of Bath's murder squad. It has everything I like, police proceedural, mystery readers, humor, great plot. I'm looking for more.
The Peter Lovesey mysteries are always a great read, and this one centers around a msytery book group that is somehow invoved with the crime at hand. Very crafty and thoroughly enjoyable during a very long, snow-delayed airplane ride.
This a typical Peter Diamond novel - tightly written and clever to the end.
Interesting murder mystery based around a book club.
