Frozen in Crime

My review -
This
is the fifth in the Pitkirtly Mysteries series and is a rather claustrophobic
adventure in which Pitkirtly is cut off by snow for the Christmas and New Year
period. There is a robbery at the jeweller's and the local police force is
seriously hampered by the weather. All my favourite characters were there and
the remarkable Amaryllis Peebles, donning her pink PI bulletproof vest, decides
to take on the jewel robbery, when it's discovered that the most expensive item
on the list turns out to be a fake.
This
is another great little story in which, although there are murders and bodies,
the reader is never subjected to gratuitous violence. This series is full of
quirky characters and is delightfully written. I’m pleased to see that I have
several more to read. A bit of a mystery wrapped in a wonderful gentle wit is
just what I enjoy.
