Spring is springing up in the garden. It might be cold, wet and a bit breezy, but it’s starting to look colourful now 😍#cornwall #garden #springflowers Todays review is for The Family Tree Mystery by Peter Bartram. Roving investigative journalist, Colin Cranston and his girlfriend, Shirley have another case to crack. Cost mystery set in 1967 Brighton and a cracking read.  I adore this series and the author has once again given some fabulous lines to his characters to make me snigger, there are bodies and danger but the author keeps the humour to make this a wonderful cosy mystery story. The story is one that will lead Colin up and down the country and while the newspaper budget doesn’t stretch to a trip to Oz, phone calls are made. I like the era of this book as there are no mobiles or internet, clues are sought the old fashioned way and with the odd back-hander. As Colin works on the paper he has quite a few people that he can call on for help, but some are seriously dangerous. #cosymystery #blogtours #randomttours  #bookstagram #bookreview of WickedGirls by Heather Atkinson.
