This is the final part of the trilogy of "books within books" which started with "Magpie Murders" and continued with "Moonflower Murders" I recommend starting with the first one. They are very entertaining.

"The Twyford Code"

Amazing, fascinating mystery. The working class man who fell in with a bad crowd when he was young had a very authentic voice. Another book which I can't say too much about without spoiling it. It was just so good! Very impressed. Loved it.

Fabulous!

"The Women in Black" by Madeleine St John set in the fictional Sydney department store of Goodes in the late 1950s. The title refers to the Saleswomen who work in the dress department and have to wear a black dress as their uniform. This is a charming and light easy read story.
