The following sample review is by Jane Coward
I've finished 'A Very Quiet Guest' and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I re-read 'Did Anyone Die' first, to familiarise myself with the characters ( I read many books and I am very old so I need reminders!!) Firstly, I enjoyed 'Did Anyone Die' just as much from the second reading as the first. Although I knew what was going to happen, the humorous moments made me chuckle all over again. I do love the characters - the descriptions of them are vivid and I totally 'get' them.
It is also available on Kindle.
Elodea is in danger from an unknown assassin. Who can it be and why would anyone try to kill Elodea? Is it Ustin, back from the dead?
This book is the sequel to 'Did Anyone Die?' and ties off all the trailing threads while laying down a few more which lead into the third Little Wychwell Mystery, 'All that Glisters is not Silver'.

I found 'A Very Quiet Guest' just as intriguing as 'Did Anyone Die'. I loved all the unexpected twists. I found this book very visual. I could clearly see all the scenes in my mind, particularly the river chase. Perhaps it's because I know the Thames, but in any case, I found myself thinking about which actors should play the characters in a film or T.V. version of the story.. I can see both stories working very well on the screen.
Both books have that "I couldn't put it down" quality.
