People/Characters by cover

But it is in England, where he least expects it, that danger and sudden death catch up The story begins in Vienna just before Hitler and his gang seize Austria. But it is in England, where he least expects it, that danger and sudden death catch up with him. Corinth has an encounter with death as well. Edward's nephew Frank stumbles upon the corpse of Peter Gray, a painter of some repute. The police are satisfied that he died of natural causes but his niece, Vera, has reason to believe this is not the case. So, between them, Edward and Verity set about the investigation of two murders.

Overshadowing the mysteries is the ever-present threat of war. And the two sleuths also find a way to do their part in saving those that they can from the clutches of the Nazis in Austria. The Quality of Mercy like the previous six books in the Lord Corinth and Verity Browne series is a very nice historical recreation of the Golden Age mysteries I love so well.

Roberts has done his research and serves up a terrific offering of the class-conscious England of the s. It is also obvious that he knows his Dorothy L Sayers. There are so many parallels between his books and the Lord Peter Wimsey books particularly the four with Harriet Vane that I have considered doing a more in-depth post on the two series. And he manages to weave actual historical figures into the narrative quite seamlessly.

The one point that is a bit lacking is the mystery itself. It's a decent enough story, but the grand finale falls a bit short. And in one respect was down-right disappointing. But, overall, a lovely bit of historical story-telling. Quite enjoyable and if I hadn't had to work I would have read it straight through. Three and a half stars. This series of books is interesting, not so much for the mystery but for the interweaving of fictional and real characters.

In this entry, Lord Edward, second son of a Duke, and Verity, a committed Communist, an on-again, off- again couple, get involved in a series of incidents, including two probable murders, in the era just preceding WWII. Major players of the time appear A thinly disguised Hedy Lamar also plays a major part This series of books is interesting, not so much for the mystery but for the interweaving of fictional and real characters.

People/Characters: Edwina Ashley Mountbatten Countess Mountbatten of Burma

A thinly disguised Hedy Lamar also plays a major part as the actress attempting to flee from her possessive husband. The tying up of all the loose ends is less that satisfying but the book is still a fun read. This is the second book in the series that I have read and will read more Sep 25, Jemera Rone rated it really liked it. It also features cameos by such luminaries as Winston Churchill and flashbacks to the Spanish Civil War where our heroine, a convinced Communist and British journalist, lost the love of her life.

Of course the novel opens in Vienna from which our heroine is being expelled on account of its recent Nazi occupation. She undertakes to rescue a young Jewish man from Vienna and escort him to England, where he unexpectedly meets his death on the estate of Lord Mountbatten, at the same time as a local painter. But our heroine and her devoted English lover solve the crimes Jun 26, Jan Duthie rated it really liked it.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this series of books. The historical research is very good as is pulling real characters into the fictional mix. I happen to have been reading some biographies of the historical characters and the details of events are accurate. Always a good contorted plot and a complicated relationship between the two main characters.

Jul 04, Cece rated it liked it Shelves: historic-fiction , mysteries. I enjoy these for what they are. A well- plotted mystery in well-researched historical context. Is the hero a little too fortunate in his enemies' poor marksmanship and judgement? Of course-but that is all part of a series. May 18, Sarah rated it liked it. Let's see, we have murder set in s England, a dollop of politics, the rise of Hitler, and historical figures scattered throughout.

Should be right up my alley. But oddly, this didn't grab me. Reading historical fiction is important - it humanizes the stark historical facts. In this case, it's the blinders the UK put on as the Holocaust began. Feb 21, Eileen rated it liked it. One of a decent mystery series set in s England and Europe.

There's a lot of historic detail and the author, David Roberts, puts in plenty of nods to Dorothy L. Mar 15, Annie Oosterwyk rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery. I will definitely read another. Ann rated it liked it Sep 03, Sandra rated it liked it Mar 20, Candace rated it really liked it Jul 20, Starre Wynd rated it it was amazing Apr 03, Dorothy rated it really liked it Aug 08, Kirsten rated it really liked it Jun 16, Becky rated it liked it Aug 27, A wonderful tale, rich in literature, mystery, pain of loss — extremely well-written — academic yet heart-wrenching.

A simply amazing book that brought me to tears at several junctures. Intense, frightening, so much about trusting God, having faith, dealing with evil face to face. An unforgettable book. My first Rumpole mystery — nice and light, requiring little thought. Great escapism — will have to order more. An amazing novel about an intelligent woman and the men in her life.

Poignant yet inspiring, Janie is a heroine not easily forgotten. Not much of a mystery here — and Polly leaves Pickax to live in Paris. Not nearly as well-developed as past books; Braun seems to be losing her touch. Okay — nothing to write home about.

ROBERTS, David. Listings

A good surprise here and there, and great historical research. The intriguing story of Rose, a native Canadian artist who lives in poverty of everything but richness of spirit. Her Catholic faith is all-in-all to her, and her ability to love is endless. A slow, rich, meditative novel, well worth the pages of reading.

The Professor by Charlotte Bronte An intriguing portrait of a poor British man of good education who, failing at trade, seeks fortune and love in Brussels. Some disturbing anti-Catholic ranting, but an enjoyable book nevertheless. Mistaken identities with twins like Comedy of Errors but with more wit and romance. Beautiful poetry, beautifully drawn characters, lovely all around. May: Grace Eventually by Anne Lamott My Life with the Saints by Fr. James Martin, SJ A wonderful spiritual memoir which weaves the stories of many saints and holy people, such as Joan of Arc, St.

Witty at times, always evangelical in outlook, with many little tidbits of his spiritual life interwoven into wonderful research on each of the saints, this is an enjoyable and contemplative read, something to be read slowly and underlined and chewed on and meditated upon. Interesting predictions from the 1 HP fan site on the Internet, started by a homeschooler.
