Rather Delicious..
Unexpected and rather delicious storytelling in this wonderful mystery steeped in snow and blizzards and set amidst the depths of the Yorkshire Moors. The reader is treated to the inner monologue of one Inspector Frank Grasby as he is dispatched from York on, perhaps, a mission impossible. There is more than a whiff of Wodehouse and of Bertie Wooster about the poor Inspector Frank Grasby as he navigates his way through life and through the trials and tribulations of his time at Elderby and the post war shenanigans in which he unwittingly becomes involved. The author creates his world supremely well and populates it with an eccentric and eclectic cast which is a real joy to behold.
