Unlike my last month-long read, "Landed Gently", by Alan Hunter, was a quick and enjoyable read. This is the fourth book in the "Inspector Gently" series, and sees Gently, invited to spend Christmas pike fishing in the north of England, involved with trying to solve the murder of an American Air Force officer staying in the local manor house. In many ways a classic "English Country House" murder mystery a la Agatha Christie. Nothing taxing, but a pleasant evening's entertainment.
