    I enjoyed reading this book for several reasons. It is set in the 1920’s in England during a time that was the beginning of the change of the class system. It was important to the story as Eliza was a free spirited woman who was smart & very entertaining as she kept trying to figure out who killed Lord Darlington. There was a twist near the end before the true murderer was revealed. I recommend this book to everyone who like cozy mysteries.
  • Good title…

    Nice plot, nothing gory, good twists. Interesting time period. Family seems unaffected by WW1. But a good story

    when i tell you my jaw dropped at least 15 times during this book, its so realistic as well. the thoughts running through Eliza's head are just as they would me, with just the right amount of stubbornness, yet enough common scene for it to be believable and realistic.
