Summary: Everyone loves a murder mystery at X-mas....
Review: but this is not the book. I could tell that from the beginning, Ms Jordan tells the story in the first and third person, often switching between characters until you are confused. She also begins explaining a setting or person and then rambles off into another story again confusing matters. The only thing missing is the story from the dogs point of view. I don't particularly like the "heros" Barry and Dee, they seem to gloat on each other a bit too much, and if you don't care much for them it's hard to enjoy the narriation. The ending was a bit out of thin air, including an interview with the Major that was dropped on the reader in suprise. I also found the relationship between Joyce and Gabe hard to beleive. Still I would to have loved to spend X-mas in a quiet B&B in England, even if there wasn't a murder.

Summary: It Certainly Was Murder
Review: I loved the setting of the story and Ms. Jordan writes quite "English" so the bits and pieces of the language were fun to read. I did not like having to pay attention to who was talking by glancing at the chapter page...and it sometimes confused me as to whom was talking to whom. The characters were not very exciting, but I did like Dee and Barry. They appear to live a happy existance with a smattering of fun and adventure added in.
