REREADING: Pam Plays Doubles
Mar. 17th, 2010 07:56 amPam Plays Doubles: Jean MacGibbon Constable 1962
I bought this years ago for 10p in a charity shop. I only remembered the story vaguely and picked it up for a reread because of the tennis theme. It's not a great book, although I liked the detail on the tennis and it was a quick read!

I found
this marvellous list of tennis-centric novels at Tennis Collectables (and the price they’re charging for PPD makes me hug myself with glee). They mainly seem to be for children/teenagers and murder mystery/thrillers. I think the only other one I own is the Nancy Drew Case Files book.
I believe that this is the obituary of the same Jean MacGibbon (which is certainly food for thought as some of it contradicts my impressions based on PPD, while some of it supports them.)
