The Treacherous Teddy
Now this week’s book is not one I advertise to the pupils at school. Not that is is too racy or bloody or anything like that but simply as an American book it’s not easy to get hold of and it probably wouldn’t impress them.
It does however impress me. The ‘Teddy Bear Collectors Mystery’ series by John L. Lamb has become one of those that I look out for and pre-order on Amazon. The main character is an ex-cop, happily married, he and his wife get involved with solving murders and make bears on the side. It is not very grizzly (pun intended) but a more gentle read, very much a good story, light and fun.
So enjoyable that Mum, Sis and Clair all fight for who gets to read it after me! This latest installment is really good and even has a bit or archery!
