Book Reviews of Murder at the War
Book Review: Charming!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was delighted by this book and I'm crushed that earlier works by "Monica Mary Pulver" aren't available at my library nor through Amazon. The name is in quotes because I found out after the fact that MMP is another name for the writer I know and enjoy as "Margaret Frazer," who writes the Dame Frevisse & Joliffe mystery series, which I love with a passion.
"Murder at the War" is set at an SCA convention. If you like that kind of setting, I recommend "We'll Always Have Parrots" by Donna Andrews, which is set at a fantasy convention (a cross between Conan and Star Trek, more or less). Andrews also has a Civil War reenactment, "Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos." "Bimbos of the Death Sun" and "Zombies of the Gene Pool" are hysterical sendups of SF conventions by Sharyn McCrumb.
Back to "Murder at the War" -- its sympathy for the SCA makes it remarkable, and I thought the writing was high quality and the dialog believable. It had humor and suspense, and I recommend it. I'm at a loss as to why the last two reviewers were so savage. I enjoyed it so much, I went looking for more -- and succeeded. I found out that MMP also writes as "Monica Ferris," and I'm eager to start reading the mystery series written under that name, since I can't readily lay hands on any of the other MMP titles. Under any name, this author's books are a treat.
