Ann Purser's latest Lois Meade mystery is Suspicion at Seven.Last week I asked the author about what she was reading. Purser's reply:
I belong to a book club - around twelve of us turn up in the Reading Room (truly a small building erected about a hundred years ago in our tiny village, in an effort to educate the poor and neglected members of the parish}.
