La's Orchestra Saves the World
This was by the same author as The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency. It sounded like a great story: English countryside during WWII. A woman starts up a little orchestra filled with soldiers from the nearby base and local citizens to boost morale. A little romance thrown in with a Polish refugee . . . Yep, not so much. It went on and on and the orchestra was minor to the rest. Nothing happened with the refugee, lots of spouses ran off (like 3 times) and it just felt like a huge let down from what I had hoped and imagined it could be. I don't recommend this one.

That's how it was with that other book I posted about him. At the end I was, that's it. I think he's only good with the Detective Agency books and I saw those as movies so I don't know how the writing was.
