The Wychford Poisoning Case (Detective Club Crime Classics)

Product Information

All the walks lie within the area covered by the Wychwood Project, an initiative which seeks to involve local people and communities in conserving and restoring the landscapes and habitats within the historic forest area. Unfortunately, there is no other public right of access to the original forest - 90% of the surviving forest in the Wychwood area is in private land ownership. Circular walks around the former Wychwood Forest range from three to seven miles in length, and pass through rolling farmland, ancient woodland and trackways, Roman villas and rural villages. The setting of a small village, and good range of suspects,, are classic Golden Age, while the investigation is fun to follow. Towards the end of this pre-Roman period, earthworks such as Knollbury Camp and Grim's Ditch were constructed.

The land was divided into irregularly shaped lots, with a central park built around a pond and tennis courts designed by the architect Arthur Edwin Whatmough, [4] and there were careful restrictions upon what could be built in the community. The area was then still a rural region on the edge of the city, and Matthews planned out a picturesque community that he named after Wychwood forest in Oxfordshire, England. One of Toronto's ravines ran through the heart of the neighbourhood, and this was preserved as parkland. The Wychwood Forest is thought to have supplied wood for the Droitwich salt industry, which Hwicce lords monopolised.I think my main problem related to not liking the main character who I felt was arrogant and lacking in charm and understanding.
