Pelagia and the White Bulldog
Condition: SECONDHAND
This is a secondhand book. The jacket image is indicative only and does not represent the condition of this copy. For information about the condition of this book you can email us.
According to our reader, "Pelagia and the White Bulldog" is very enjoyable read. This is a book of considerable charm in which a classically worked mystery plot with a twist in the tail is played out through highly engaging characterisations (major and minor) against a background of splendidly vivid local and historical atmosphere. Pelagia - bespectacled, freckled, red-haired, extraordinarily clumsy and constantly knitting, teaches gymnastics and literature, and in her spare time solves crimes. This one begins with the murder of a white bulldog, but soon descends into something far more dastardly involving stolen gold, betrayed women, untrustworthy lotharios and ritualistic murders. All great Akunin fun.
