Charity Ends At Home

Reading Colin Watson's Flaxborough mysteries will make you feel as if you had lived in the town all your life. You'll see the Flaxborough citizenry through the eyes and in the mind of inspector Purbright not as a panoptikum of criminal suspects but as your neighbors. Watson puts peoples actions, motives and feelings into such a perspective that along with the pure reading entertainment, one could use it as a textbook for Psychology 101 class, yet you will laugh out loud on every other page.
