Kate’s 2¢: “decent inn of death” by Rennie Airth

“decent inn of death” by Rennie Airth

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   This is the first John Madden mystery I’ve read. When Angus Sinclair apparently goes missing, I thought he was the protagonist, only to find John shares that honor. Having the events reiterated every time a new character came on the scene or one needed to be up-dated, I found the repetition a bit trying.

   Over all, though, armchair sleuths will be kept on tender hooks until the mystery is explained…again.

   Yes, I’d recommend this book, especially, the way John Curless  reads it.
