The White Cottage Mystery by Margery AllinghamMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have to confess I'm a sucker for cozy British mysteries, and this book wasn't the exception.
It's perfect in plot, characters, description, etc. It's also Margery Allingham's first detective story. first published as a newspaper series.
The plot is simple: Jerry finds a lovely girl and drives her home. Just as they arrive, a shot is heard.
There's a dead man, a neighbor, who happens to be hated by everyone around him.
It so happens that Jerry's father is the famous Detective Chief Inspector Challenor, and aided by his son, he will do everything in his power to solve the mystery. Add a few red herrings, a little romance, as Jerry falls in love with the girl and you have a lovely read.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
