Why read it?
1 author picked A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Written and set in the 1950s, this is the 4th in the Felse detective series.
Peters is more famous for the Cadfael mysteries, with their wonderful depiction of England at the time of the civil war between Stephen and Maud. However, the Cadfael books need to be read in order and the first is far more successful in the BBC adaptation.
Dated in some ways, and with prose that’s functional rather than beautiful, Peters has a brilliant eye for capturing a period. The clever trail of clues means it’s possible to work out the mystery so the reveal is satisfying…
From Alexia's list on a historic crime driving the current story.
