The Queen of Crime keeps suspense, side-plots, dry humour until the end.

Brian 'makes the emptiness of imprisonment speak' Not the most enjoyable novel I've ever read but definitely the one which has left the greatest and hasn't been equaled in the subsequent decades. I think it should be essential reading on the GCSE syllabus, for English language/literature/politics/psychology and generally an education of life.

Tina Craig works all the hours she can and volunteers in a charity shop when going through a a second hand suit finds a letter in the pocket when she opens the letter her life changes a beautiful story and just could not put the book down

Eleanor leads a simple life and happy in her own way but something happens to change her life its about loneliness and the power of kindness very funny at times and unforgettable a book one loves to read over and over again

It’s so whimsical and magical and it’s a great place to escape to

This book surprised me. I absolutely loved reading it, despite it being a genre I don't normally read. I could not put it down.

Read this (and it’s 3 sequels) when I was in my teens and the story/characters have never left me. Highly recommend to anyone who reads this.
