I enjoyed Supping with the Devil by Sally Spencer (a pseudonym) which is set in 1979 England. DCI Paniatowski has a falling out with her boss who removed her from the homicide team to oversee a rock festival to be held in the grounds of a stately home. It is interesting to read a modern novel which is set in the past where there are no mobile phones. How did we manage! A murder during the rock festival is a challenge for Paniatowski as she manages a twisted diplomatic path as the revered earl's wishes are paramount. A bikie gang is in charge of the "security" at the rock festival, later we learn the reason. The reader may think the fawning of the "upper classes" is a faint relic of a bygone era. Was it really like that in 1979, and does it still prevail. There are some good characters. 4/5Monday, April 3, 2017
