Reviewers of A Meeting With Murder: Miss Gascoigne mysteries book 1 said:
'Every character becomes someone you know, someone you grow to like or dislike as Allan draws you in, not as a spectator, but as a participator. An outsider who becomes so enthralled with the events as they unfold that you actually can not help but want to try and solve this plot before anyone else does. Mystery, intrigue, suspense, romance, and nostalgia. This book has it all!'
'another great cosy mystery which we're so used to with this author… the description of the town and characters was so vivid it was like I was part of the community'
'Set in the 60s, the novel is rich in period detail with fabulous descriptions of the homes and the clothing, and a great ‘ear’ for the dialogue of the time… A cracking book, peopled with memorable characters'
'Good read, I liked it! I also liked that the story was a continuation of a beloved series. Its new for me to read a book set in the swinging sixties'
