I am glad you are enjoying the books and their characters, and recognise the Midlands dialect and `me duck` and `me love`. Isn`t it nice and friendly? Huncote is a village near Leicester, I believe? I too worked in a village school, and loved it. I wasn`t always brilliant at discipline, but no matter! Perhaps you will come over again and see some more of England. Another Lois Meade to come, and Ivy`s second adventure in Barrington. Best wishes - Ann Hello Brenda – thank you so much for your interesting message.

I just started "Tragedy at Two" and am savoring it. I have started giving your books as birthday gifts to a friend who loves mysteries, and I donate my own copies to the library to get others interested in them. I live in the US but spent January 1980 in England on an English Schools and Family college trip. I stayed with a family in Huncote for two weeks and helped in the school there. Personally, I love all of the "me duck" and other British expressions because they remind me of my lovely month in England. (At first, I was surprised when I was in England and storekeepers would call me "me duck" and "me love," but I enjoyed their warm welcomes and expressions.) I didn't learn about your other series until checking your website, but that was good to discover! Thanks for writing such wonderful books! Dear Ann,

Thanks for hours of reading please....Lois is cosy but edgy so she's never boring! Do you ever go to the Bristol Crimefest? I like to attend when I can as I know the organisers. Regards, Lauren Hi Ann,

December seems a long time away! - but Threats at Three will be a useful Christmas present ...

There is a nice young couple, newcomers in the village, a wicked developer, a young lad in trouble, and much more. Lois is on the warpath from the outset! Worth waiting for .....
