So who did it?

I've just finished reading another two crime books very different...

Rattle His Bones by Carola Dunn

Another Daisy mystery, this one I enjoyed as it was set in the Natural History museum and being set in the '50s didn't mean I couldn't picture the different galleries clearly. I was also relieved that this time Daisy wasn't (indirectly) killing off her friends / hosts but managed to have stumbled across a death on a dinosaur with just a little help from Belinda and Derek. I'm surprised that Alec hasn't had second thoughts about marrying Daisy yet, considering she seems to be solely responsible for doubling his workload. This book also had the added bonus that there was not just a murder but a huge theft too, with the story starting when all the gems in the Natural History Museum were stolen and replaced with fakes. I will definitely be looking more closely at the dinosaurs and gems next time I'm in the museum. But should you read it? Well if you didn't enjoy the others then no, but if you did then it's worth a read although Daisy and Alec still don't get married.

Locked In by Kerry Wilkinson

I might have found a new detective to follow... Jessica Daniels, DS. Right from the start this book drew me in as a fan of CSI I smiled as Jessica commented that being a detective in Manchester is not really as glamorous as being a CSI. Here the question was how did a killer get in to a locked house and back out again without leaving a trace? Then Jessica finds out who probably did but he seems to have disappeared without trace will Jessica find him before another person dies? Oh and if you want to know how you break into a locked house try the locksmiths... I've bought some more Jessica Daniels books and I'm looking forward to trying to solve some more of Jess' cases, maybe this time before she does.
