Modern Collins (1) : Frog in the Throat

This is a spin-off from our long-running Golden Age crime novel series. Golden Age has covered many Collins Crime Club novels. This new series will do the same but in more recent decades, mostly 1970s and 1980s.

Frog in the Throat by Elizabeth Ferrers is a pleasant little amateur detective story set in a leafy village. The narrator her rogue-ish estranged husband unravel a murder, as they do so more secrets are unveiled in what appeared at first to be a very innocent setting but really isn't (of course!)

A very good novel with a deep mystery which is gradually revealed as the story progresses, part of a series featuring Virginia and Felix. We will review more of them in future for sure.
