Wonderful short stories

Loved the variety in this thoughtful and interesting collection, with Parker-Pyne, Satherwaite, Mr Quinn and Poirot. Hugh Fraser is a talented reader, differentiating each character insightfully. Didn’t want it to end.

The England which doesn’t and shouldn’t exist

Wasn’t too interested to begin with, quickly became bored and then irritated. John King writes about the real people of England. My advice is to give him a big go.
