Mystery Lovers Review:
One of my all time favorite Edmund Crispins finds Fen improbably running (or standing as they say over there) for Parliament in a seat from the village of Sanford Angelorum. There is a mystery here but it's totally overshadowed by Crispin's hilarious depictions of Fen's putative constituents--a collection of dim rustics, buxom barmaids, would-be squires and everything in betweeen.
