I love British characters and stories, and particularly ones that are fast-paced and keep me guessing until the end. This was one of those for sure. If you are an Agatha Christie fan or just love a good mystery, don't pass up this engaging series.5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Rachel Markham series, April 24, 2014 By Doreen FarleyI love mysteries post world war 2! I enjoyed the character of Rachel Markham very much. A delightful and cozy read.A great surprise, March 14, 2013 By Bookwormthis book was a wonderful surprise. Lots of charming characters that you will fall in love with--whether they are good guys or bad. The setting is fabulous--you feel right at home in the beautiful homes and their gorgeous surroundings in England. This is a terrific page-turner that you won't be able to put down.Great English manor house mystery!!, February 16, 2013 By David MalmbergReally enjoyed it! Reminded me of Agatha Christie at her best.5.0 out of 5 stars A Cozy And Fun Read, February 19, 2013 By L.I. LINDA (LI NY)This book reads like a P.B.S. television mystery series. I am an Anglophile and enjoyed every page. I highly recommend it to lovers of all things British.A SPECIAL NOTE TO AMERICAN READERS: Please note that all spellings are in British English.Words like humour, colour, flavour, among others, are not "misspelled" or mistakes in editing, as a few reviewers have pointed out. That's just how these words are written in British English. Also, British colloquialisms from the 1940s have been sprinkled liberally throughout the book, which are not editing errors but deliberately infused through the historical storyline, without which much of its charm would have been lost. We hope you will enjoy this whodunit for its own English flavour and its signature dry British humour.

This is the third book in the Rachel Markham Mystery series and is probably the best of the three. While in the first 2 books of the series, the author includes redundant adjectives/adverbs, repeats sentences with only slight variations, and does a poor imitation of Jane Austin's style of verbosity, in this book the writing seems to have improved with practice.

Good Book
I enjoyed the plot and characters but thought some descriptions were overdone. If you like descriptions, so much the better for you.

Fast reas
Rachel is an interesting character. Her husband Jeremy is more like a prop that allows her to be a "detective". Good read, short, and fast.
