Thanks for the tip, I really enjoyed the book, and Lesley Manville is one of my favourite actors, so I’ll definitely be looking this one up.

I love the clothes she wears!
The program was good too.

I love Lesley Manville, and we both enjoyed the program. From the above posts I'm really forward to seeing the clothes that she'll be wearing.

Dollymixtures You wait until you see some of the other outfits Lesley M wears. I make my own clothes and I have got so much inspiration from the series.

Ive only watched the first one and I have serious cardigan envy from the one she was wearing at home with mauve flowers!

I so enjoyed the whole series.. for the venues, amazing attention to detail of the clothes and cars,and the wonderful cast of great British actors..

Thanks for the recommendation. I have set it to record, or I might do as you did and watch the lot ahead of time.

I really enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of Anthony Horowitz but this was quirky and interesting and fairly light.

The book was pretty good too, so just bought the follow on.
Under the genre of “cosy crime fiction” in D H Smith.😊

Thanks for the recommendation..was wondering if it was any good. Will certainly give it a watch.

That's it really. DH and I love a murder mystery and this series has been fantastic. If you like Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise or Poirot this one will be for you. It's six espisodes and after the first one we went onto BBC IPlayer and watched the rest over a couple of evenings. Anthony Horowitz wrote it and I love anything he's involved with.

It's worth watching just for Lesley Manville's clothes. She's a fantastic actress.
