As the last few posts have been for books that are most likely out of the average person's price range, here's one that everyone can enjoy.
But first, something about the publisher (Felony and Mayhem), which is what makes this book special. Felony and Mayhem was started by the owners of Partners & Crime, an independent bookstore in New York’s Greenwich Village. It came into being because so many great mystery books were out of print or hard to find. So the intrepid owners of Partners & Crime did the obvious thing: they started their own publishing company to insure they could supply their customers with the best books possible. A little tale that flies in the face of both mega-bookstore chains and rumors of the death of the small publisher.
Anyway, Death In The Garden is a terrific tale of poisoning, stiff cocktails and obsessive love affairs. All set in 1925 on an English country estate. If you like your mysteries cozy, filled with badly behaved aristocrats and murder most foul, this is definitely the book for you.
And why not read it on an e-reader? It's Labor Day weekend! There's no use fooling around with one of those contraptions when you're guaranteed to get sand and saltwater in it. Be safe, go paperback. And at the end of the weekend pass it on to your other mystery-loving friends.
Available at www.felonyandmayhem.com and at amazon
