Strange Images of Death Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The eighth in the Scotland Yard Detective Joe Sandilands series takes place in France where Joe is once again attemtping to go on holiday. But of course a body - or two - fall in his way. I find I prefer the first few in the series which take place in India; more exotic background and characters. But I'm still taken with Joe! "

" A few interesting twists kept me reading. "

" Listened to this on audio. Started slowly, but then improved. A who-dunnit in a French chateau among some arty-types. And a policeman thrown in. Ok, but not brilliant. It dragged in places. "

" Cleverly writes such an enjoyable old fashioned series. This was one of her best. The series started in India and this story takes place in Southern France. Sandilands is a wonderful protaganist. Looking foward to his next adventure. "

" Enjoyed the relationship between Joe and his niece. Cleverly's mystery is, as always, interesting. Handy to have Joe around. "

" I liked the first couple books in this series but this one felt really slow and dithery to me. There was too much description of too many uninteresting things, and I felt my life slipping away as I was reading it. "

" I like Barbara Cleverly and I like Joe Sandilands, WWI returnee to Scorland Yard-ish. The series is now moving ahead again and it is fun. Good twists, and I guessed the who done it, but then wasn't sure... Looking forward to more! "

" An ok but not exceptional story which would have been enhanced if Dorcas had been given a larger role. "

" Good period piece - set in late 1920s in Provence. Good plot. "

" Character driven, wonderful sense of place and of time, and a terrific mystery. And Joe Sandilands--sigh! "

" I enjoy this series. I'd actually give this a 3.5. I liked the earlier books a bit better - India added an air of mystery that is more interesting than the English/French stuff. And, still a good series. "

" A series I am very fond of. Joe Sandilands is with New Scotland Yard in the 1920s. He gets involved, in this case, with a murder in an artist's colony in Provence. The motive for the murder seemed a bit forced, but Joe and his niece are good characters. "

" I do love it when I can figure out the mystery slightly before the reveal. Still winding and complex with a slightly smaller mystery also included. I'm sad that Joe had to come back from India, but he is still a stellar detective. "

" A very good Joe Sandilands mystery & I did not guess who did it! "

" Another series I had lost track of and was glad to find two new entries. I do enjoy Joe Sandilands and this trip into Provence was satisfying. "

" I really appreciate that Commander Joe Sandilands works so well with others. So often our fictional detectives are loners. One of my favorite characteristics is teamwork. "

" This was an okay mystery. I usually like period mysteries, but somehow the whole thing just didn't come together for me, even though I like the sleuth. "

" Another good book in a mystery series by Cleverly. The setting is the south of France in the 1920s. A British police commander is thrust into a murder case in a mysterious old chateau with a houseful of struggling artists. "
