So pleased Poisoned Pen are re-releasing these old gems, from a simpler time in many ways. I think because of that there's now a lovely sense of escapism in reading them, and they are higher on entertainment factor than many modern crime novels.Jo @ Booklover Book Reviewshttp://bookloverbookreviews.com/2018/01/seven-dead-by-j-jefferson-farjeon-book-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-36193087854455915112018-12-07T13:22:51.753-08:002018-12-07T13:22:51.753-08:00I hope you enjoy it!

She might find it a little slow going. But it's not super long, and the girls in it are fun.
