Ah, a new Pitkirtly book from Cecilia. I'm in heaven. Until I finish it, then I'm waiting for the next.

I really love this series of books. I love the "are they going out?" of Amaryllis and Christopher and I love the interaction between the characters.

This story is set amongst the heavy snow of Christmas-time. The village is cut off and there's been a robbery. Of course Amaryllis wants to stick her nose in it and Christopher wants a quiet life. Chief Inspector Smith gets more of a part in this one. I like him.

I think this is one of my favourite of the Pitkirtly novels.

Thanks so much, Joo. I'm so glad you liked it! I really enjoyed writing this one and the first 15 or so chapters just seemed to write themselves. I was amazed to find myself enjoying reading them over when it came to the first edit. Usually I hate reading anything I've written.
Interesting that you've mentioned Charlie Smith - I had another idea involving him only yesterday, when I was trying to focus on something completely different.

When you get bored of Christopher and Amaryllis (like never), perhaps he could have his own series Big Grin
