I enjoyed it and it got better and more complex as it progressed. Rather emotional epilogue.

This book kept my attention from start to finish. The plot was interesting and plausible and I didn't guess the ending. It was very enjoyable and I look forward to reading the rest of this series of books.

The best in the series so far

I loved listening to this one, keeps things light hearted, and at the same time made me think about whodunnit!

This book transports the reader to a bygone age so completely - you can almost smell and taste the lives of the characters, their surrounds and the times in which they lived. Beautifully told with twists and turns keeping you guessing to the last. I will most certainly be spending my Audible credits on many, many more of Frances Brody’s wonderfully rich novels.

A beautifully rich and absorbing book
