Down To The Abbey

by Frank Howell Evans

The creator of television series Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes has said that his stories were inspired by the books of Frank Howell Evans. Down To The Abbey relates the stories of several characters in aristocratic London just after World War 1. It was a time of change which saw the aristocracy trying to keep their privileges and the lower classes trying to claw themselves into the higher classes. It is about greed, murder, blackmail, but above all it's about love, forbidden love.

I picked this up as a freebie one day on Amazon. Having never read any other books in the series (this is #12), I'm not sure if it is intended as a tongue-in-cheek parody (in which case it was hilarious) or if it is intended as a serious literary offering (in which case it was dreadful). I don't think I will be reading others in the series.

I haven't left a star rating because I'm not sure what I actually read O_o. It might be 4 stars if it was intended as comedy, but 1 star or less if intended to be taken seriously.

Agatha Christie's Poirot has to be based on the detective in this book, Poiret.
