Finally! It took a while for Alison Golden (along with Grace Dagnall) to come out with the next (the tenth) Inspector David Graham Mystery, but they finally did! Cleaning out an attic in an old house, one that has been an inn for a very long time, something odd is noticed. There's been a huge storm, the house has been buffeted about and there is lots of damage ... and yet, one piece of furniture has not shifted. Why is that? Because it has been disguised to look like an upholstered sofa but is actually made of concrete. And there is a body inside. And so begins The Case of the Body in the Block. Just how old is this body, and who is it? And, of course, why was it stashed in the attic? It was fun 'working' with these characters again.

I've been on a non-fiction kick for a while, but when that was over I headed back to P.F. Ford and the fourth of the West Wales Murder Mysteries, A Body at the Farmhouse. I have become quite fond of the characters and their interactions, they have become a great team that are happy to be working together for sure. There was supposed to be a wedding but instead, the groom finds his bride hanging from the rafters in the barn. It is assumed to be suicide (we know that's not true, right?), and there are hints that it is not, which sets our team on the trail of what happened.
