Our Take:Â
A historical mystery which takes us to the golden age of mystery writing in 1930s in Britain. This book has the flavor of those books so if you like Agatha Christie novels, you will enjoy this book: A female sleuth, England in 1920s and countryside setting…this is more or less an overview of this well-written story. Great characters, fun adventures and an easy to read story which can be finished in one sitting. Cozy fans will appreciate this new book!
Our Rating: 3.7
