- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I do love wit and comedy with my murders. Leo Bruce is a marvelous addition to my collection of go-to mystery authors. His plotting is often ingenious, and his ability to create comic characters is unsurpassed.This entry in his Carolus Deene series is an engaging and fast read. As the story opens we’re introduced to Mrs. Bobbin, one of the furious women of the title. She approaches Deene because she doesn’t trust the police to solve the extremely annoying murder of her sister Millicent. Mrs. Bobbin rather disliked her sister, but she was family. It turns out that everyone in the village hated Millicent, as she was nosy, nasty, and not nice. Soon another death occurs; this time it’s Millicent’s chief rival in the high church, low church battle in the village. This village murder mystery was written in the 1960’s, but it could have come straight from the Golden Age of British mysteries.Highly recommended to any fan of old mysteries.
