Paul Oldham reviewed Coffin, Scarcely Used by Colin Watson
An introduction to Flaxborough
4 stars
I've been a fan of Colin Watson's Flaxborough novels since I was first introduced to them via the dramatisation of a couple of them on BBC Radio 4. This is the first, where we meet Purbright and Love for the first time and get to know the fictitious Lincolnshire town.
Lucilla Teatime, perhaps my favourite character, comes later in the series but it's still a good read.
