Gently Through the Mill Inspector George Gently Series Book 5 eBook Alan Hunter

I chose this novel because I was familiar with the BBC television film of it. Alan Hunter placed most of his novels in East Anglia--land of Fens and Broads. I'd seen some of that area during a visit to Cambridge in 1982. The setting of the Inspector George Gently series on TV was moved to Northumbria. The change of location affects the story somewhat. The more significant change from the book had to do with leading characters, some of whom are changed in the screenplay. Really, the two versions need to be taken on their own terms.
Alan Hunter's craft as a writer develops in these early novels. For American readers, his use of British police jargon and British regional speech may present difficulties. The dictionaries accessed on Kindle don't help, and even more serious sources sometimes can leave you puzzled. For example, what exactly does Hunter mean by "chummy"? Try putting the American "our friend" in its place and makes ironic sense. Often he seems to use it to indicate and unknown perpetrator or a crime. Often he uses technical words that require some knowledge of their British usage. But if you have patience with the vocabulary and don't feel the need to read it like an exegete, the strong characterization and close plotting will make a rewarding read.

Gently Through the Mill Inspector George Gently Series Book 5 eBook Alan Hunter Reviews

Love these mysteries Can't wait to read the next
Early George Gently. Moves right along. Much better than some of the later entries in the series.
My wife And I got hooked on the George Gently TV series so I thought I would try the books. I am reading them from the beginning and this one is the best one so far......I am hooked...thank goodness there are so many of them!
An enjoyable read in the Gently series. I didn't enjoy as much as the other four Gently books that I have read. There were too many revelations out of the blue (and the past before the subject of the book). As usual, well written.
Wonder no more. This novel was first published in 1958 and the trade has changed since then, but getting the baking out at Easter sets the scene for this mystery in such a way that you can almost smell the best hot cross buns in Lynton, Devon. A nicely convoluted plot that charts the habits of small time crooks who bite off more than they can chew.
Hard to follow or understand. Huge number of words. Little said. I dislike I finished sentences, how do I know what the author thinks I will finish them with.
No-one can doubt the skill of Alan Hunter as a Detective Novelist. What is making his writing more valuable today is the additional value the reader (if so inclined) receives from Hunter's books as social commentary. Hunter writes faithfully of his bit of Britain as it was mid century. In today's PC ridden world his characters would largely not be welcome. Country-side described by him is becoming hard to find while his little towns succumb to Britain's population increase and the tempo of life accelerates. OK, I confess I won't see 70 again and my memory enjoys Hunter's prompts to enjoy the time of my youth.
