The first paragraph of "Fallen Into the Pit" knocked my socks off, and I've been reading mystery stories for over 50 years. I already knew Ellis Peters' wonderful series about Brother Cadfael, and this was my introduction to Inspector Felse and his family. His son, Dominic, a teenager, is at the center of the story. Written shortly after WW II, the story revolves around two concerns: Open pit coal mining and the presence of a former German soldier. Peters describes the location along the Welsh border with the familiarity of one who grew up there. Her detail is not intrusive or distracting, and through it she manages to conjure up a clear image of the places and people and bring all to life. The death of the German soldier follows a series of harrassments and arguments which make the resolution of the story logical but still surprising. When the killer is revealed through Dominic's daring, there is an "Aha!" moment. The clues were all there, but the reader was cleverly distracted from the motivation. I am now reading all the rest of the Felse novels and gradually acquiring the other non-Cadfael Ellis Peters (Edith Pargeter) novels for avid consumption. If you are a devotee of British mysteries, Felse is not to be missed.
