 The Observer | Review | Observer review: Pandora by Jilly Cooper
One thing to know about the Cooper oeuvre is that it's possible to read her novels together as a grand roman fleuve: a tremendous orgy of some 5,000 pages' durance.
Most are set in the marvellously make-believe English counties of Larkshire and Rutshire, and there are several characters who pop up in every novel.
In Rutshire, men do not keep their socks on in bed, nor are they fish-belly white all over.

True devotees of the English mystery will spot the killer within a score of pages of the murder itself.
Sadly, the Rutshire constabulary prove traditionally inept, and we are forced to plough through a further 250 pages of obvious lies, pathetic alibis and ridiculous subterfuges before we reach an ending as preposterous as it is pedestrian.
True to the traditions of the 1930s Golden Age novel, we are provided with a map -- which is entirely irrelevant to the unravelling of the mystery -- and a list of characters, which runs to a staggering eight pages.

Yes, Riders is good, but I have to say it had the nastiest streak of all Jilly's Rutshire books in the bitter, never-let-up rivalry between glamorous Rupert Campbell-Black and gypsy Jake Lovell.
It's also her least funny of the Rutshire books--which doesn't mean it isn't laden with her wry British humor, just that the darkish story tones it down a bit.
At the same time--even though it's not my favorite--I reread it compulsively, enjoying the human and animal characters, the comical and poignant encounters, the way we get to see that romance-novel romances don't always end happily ever after.

To the accompaniment of smutty puns, equine images and dated English slang, the novel tells the preposterous tale of a beautiful young American violinist who, catching her lover-manager in flagrante, slashes her wrists badly enough to destroy her bowing action, but not her life.
Taking up conducting instead, she moves to Rutshire, the fictional rural locale of all Cooper's recent sex and show-jumping novels, and tries to keep time with the sexually rampant members of the orchestra.
Silly, giggly and very, very long, Appassionata provides novel ideas about what you can do with a glockenspiel.
