Three years ago a new young detective, Kinsey Millhone, made her debut in Sue Grafton’s “‘A is for Alibi’’. It was soon followed by:‘‘B is for Burglar’’ and now Kinsey returns in Sue Grafton’s new novel, ““C is for Corpse’ (Beaverbooks: $21.95).

by Andrea Deakin Terrace Book Reviewer

A great part of the appeal and enjoyment of these novels lies in the main character, an intelligent, down-to-earth uncompromising young woman whose vitality and humanity, clearsightedness and humor, make her a warm, enjoyable companion.

Kinsey is twice-divorced, but not bitter. She'lives in a 15-foot square room in a converted garage because it is convenient, and she lives on frozen dinners because she has not got round to learning how to cook. She is, however, an acute observer of life, who

makes mistakes from time to time, but who gets the . crook in the end.

In “C is for Corpse’’ she is engaged by a young man. whose scarred face and body suggest a dreadful accident and whose spirit insists on finding out who attempted to murder him. Kinsey, impressed by his

dogged courage and appreciative of his determina- .

tion, agrees to help him. Three days later Bobby is dead and Kinsey is deter-

mined to carry through her commitment. She has

been hired to prevent a killing, now she is committed to finding a murderer, The plot is tautly woven, the action non-stop and the characters real and in- teresting people. This is an outstanding thriller. Brother Cadfael is one of the most interesting detectives of recent years. He is a monk in the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul at Shrewsbury and the time is the Civil War between

’ Stephen and Mathilda in 12th.century England.

Cadfael knows the world, he has been a soldier in the Crusades, sailor plying the waters of the Mediter- ranean, and student of the medical knowledge preserved and practiced by the Arabs. A knowledge which comes in handy more than once during his many investigations. ‘The Raven in the Foregate”

’ CEllis Peters: Gage $17.95) is the twelfth chronicle of

Brother Cadfael.

Once again it is set in Shrewsbury. Abbot Radulfus has returned from a meeting with the Papal Legate, bringing with him a young priest, the Legate’s choice to fill the vacant spot in the nearby parish of Holy Cross. The priest, quickly making himself very well disliked, is found drowned in the mill pool on Christmas morning and Cadfael, with the help of his good friend Hugh Beringar, conducts an enquiry into the event,

the venture prohibitive.”

The second resolution related to the use of ungulates such as sheep, goats, and elk as a positive alternative to us- ing herbicides in forest renewal.

‘‘There was general

agreement that we need alternatives to her- bicides. We know

ungulates are effective but to what degree, we

don't know. That’s why we need the research,” Hayes added.

Part of the pleasure of this series of novels lies in their humanity and in their skilful depiction of a way of life. The sights, sounds; even the smells of the Middle Ages are brought vividly to life, while the warmth and integrity of Hugh and Cadfael endear them to the reader.

If you read the whole series you quickly picture the town of Shrewsbury and become involved in a vividly portrayed cast of characters, At the same time, there is some solid deduction to be done, each plot offering a satifying completion. ‘‘The Raven in the Foregate”’ will not disappoint Cadfael’s fans, and will surely earn him more.

Books for young readers

Rudi Haas has a wonderful imagination and skilful hands. Together they produce the delightful animals which hop, fly and crawl through the pages of ‘‘Ege- Carton Zoo” (Oxford: $9.95).

by Andrea Deakin Terrace Book Reviewer

Perhaps the best gift this book can give its young ‘readers is the ability to both look and’ see. In the

humble egg-carton Rudi Haas finds eagles, frogs, .

elephants, bears, indeed a whole menagerie of animals created from styrofoam curved nail scissors, dyes like saffron, and a sense of fun.

The instructions for making these creatures are given in a simple straightforward way, the steps clearly shown by close-up photography, and a delightful imaginative text, inspires the child to look for what is hiding in the folds and curves of the box. This outstanding little book has a variety of ex- perience encompassed in its few pages. To top it all, this is the most inexpensive of hobbies.

‘Music Maker” by Robina Beckles Wilson (Vik- ing Kestrel: $14.95) is designed for use with elemen- tary age children. It is an introduction to the many ways that music can be made, and includes directions for instruments to make, musical games to play, songs to sing and suggestions for an opera.

There is a wealth of information and suggestions in an enthusiastic and lively text which should appeal to teachers as well as young people. It is a book design- ed to be used as well as enjoyed, certainly one for school and public library shelves. The text is fully il- lustrated with line drawings by Gunvor Edwards.

When 16-year-old Sally Lockhart mentions ‘‘The Seven Blessings’’ to an employee of her late father’s firm, it has a startling and totally unexpected conse- quence. So begins Philip Pullman’s exciting Vic- torian thriller, ‘‘The Ruby in the Smoke” (Oxford: $13.95).

Sally Lockhart’s strange question sets off a chain of events which swiftly sweeps her up into encounters in the smoggy back streets of London, a friendship with a bold and courageous young photographer and his actress sister, and a life of danger as various members of an unholy group attempt to seize her and win the answer to the whereabouts of a fabulous ruby.

Philip Pullman’s strong and exciting tale is peopl- ed with unusual memorable characters, and the set- ting and time feel authentic. The young hero, Frederick, is a believable and attractive foil to Sally, who is a determined, imaginative, intelligent and at- tractive young heroine.

This is the first in a trilogy about these characters, The sequel, ‘‘The Shadow on the Plate’’ is already

finished, and I am sure it will be eagerly awaited after this first fascinating thriller.
