Summary
Eleanor Trewynn is a recently retired widow who has moved to the small village of Port Mabyn in Cornwall. Neither frail nor retiring, after a lifetime of traveling the world, she's ready for an uneventful life with her dog and friends in this quiet town. Unfortunately, excitement seems to happen around her.
Her friend and neighbor, artist Nick Gresham, returns from a trip only to find several of his paintings slashed, reportedly by rival local artist Geoffrey Clarke. When Nick goes to have it out with him, with Eleanor in tow, they find Clarke's body in his studio, fatally stabbed in the back. Accused of the crime, Nick ends up in jail, while Detective Inspector Scumble and DS Megan Pencarrow, Eleanor's niece, investigate. But in A Colourful Death, the second Cornish Mystery from Carola Dunn, Eleanor isn't leaving anything to chance - she starts doing a little investigating of her own, and soon learns that Nick is far from the only one with a compelling motive for murder.

Blatantly obvious from the start
I love Carola Dunn's books but with this book was quite disappointed. It was blatantly obvious from the very beginning who the murderer was and was so odd why all the characters kept going around in circles like it was a huge mystery - especially when they're portrayed as clever and insightful. I spent the entire book waiting in frustration for the characters to catch up.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Really enjoyed this book, an essence of Miss Marple. The fact that it was free made it all the more enjoyable.
Intrigue, likeable characters all set in the Cornish landscape.

Tedious
Characters are well written but story goes around in circles without much progress; every plot point seems to be gone over twice and the author is too in love with digressing at every opportunity to bring up some nostalgic, twee plot point.

Easy listening
No guns or car chases - I liked the easy pace and the details of an era when I was a young woman!!

Very average
Not that great. The murderer was pretty obvious from the start.
A bit boring in the end. Miss Marple she ain't.
