Death of an Avid Reader (Kate Shackleton Mystery) - Tapa dura

"Frances Brody knows how to hold the reader attention and make them continue reading into the small hours of the night."--Bill Spence, York Press on Murder on a Summer's Day

"I have enjoyed all five Kate Shackleton books but this is the best so far. Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers."--Daily Mail (UK)

"This is a well written, engaging story, easy to read and positively breathing the atmosphere of its setting and time. Don't be put off if you've not met Kate before. This is almost the perfect stand-alone, with enough references to enable you to fill in the background for yourself without in any way detracting from the plot and what 'hangover' characters there are fit naturally into the story...I'm impressed - and off to explore Kate's earlier cases. If they're as good as this, they'll be well worth the effort!" - Crime Review on Death of An Avid Reader
