Marjory's Book by Marjory Fleming5/27/2023 ![]() Marjory and Bill have what appears to be a very strong marriage… until an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease threatens their way of life.īill follows the slaughtering of his neighbors’ cattle and sheep as officials attempt to halt the spread of this dreaded animal virus. Fleming’s staff call her “Big Marge” when she’s not in hearing distance. The main character, Detective Inspector Marjory Fleming, is a tall, athletic woman who is married to a sheep farmer in the Galloway, Scotland area. Here’s my review of the first book… and I know already that I’ll be following DI Marjory Fleming for the long run. What a terrific introduction to a mystery series that is already a cut above most others in the field. Of course, I started with book 1 – Cold in the Earth – and I’m so glad I did. My library still didn’t have the books so I checked on Amazon and found ALL of the DI Fleming thrillers just waiting to be downloaded to my Kindle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, I was between books last year… slowly climbing up the library’s reserve list for Deborah Harkness‘ new novel, and went browsing through my to-read file looking for ideas.Īnd there was the sticky note saying “Aline Templeton – good author- per Louise Penny – DI Marjory Fleming.” Aline Templeton’s DI Marjory Fleming mystery series has been on my radar for four years, ever since one of my favorite mystery writers, Louise Penny, recommended it on her blog.Īlas, my library didn’t carry the books, so I placed a sticky note in my “authors to read” file to remind myself about this new author to try… someday. ![]()
