In short, Pokin seems like a very interesting, but problematic, mystery writer – very much like Gladys Mitchell. <br /><br />Enjoy your first case with Mrs. Bradley. :)TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-35318398030235490392011-05-04T23:27:07.983+02:002011-05-04T23:27:07.983+02:00This sounds like an interesting piece of work.

The initial set-up sounds highly intriguing.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.com
