This sounds like a fantastic collection! Looking up the Miss Phipps stories right away. I am currently reading Appleby Talking, a collection of short stories by Michael Innes. In some ways, it reminds me of Miss Marple's Tuesday Night Club; but in this case, the inspector tells all the stories while the vicar and the doctor listen. Some of the stories are good.

Interesting! I've read a few Appleby stories in different anthologies, though not many.

Ooh. I didn't realise that Phyllis Bentley had a sideline in detective stories - I will have to investigate!

Puzzling that no pies are given a mention...let alone a pork pie!

That is a puzzle. If I ever set up a restaurant, we'll definitely serve Pie D. James

Amazing! Mid-Wales has a good red kite population, but they never want to visit Bridgend
