In the Vein of Miss Marple
A good read but the author needs to lighten up a little. The dialogue sounded just a bit too contrived and stilted whereas the authors of the Golden Age flowed with the dialogue. However it was a clever plot, well thought out and well constructed. The characters too are very in keeping with the time period used and add that sense of belonging. However it still left questions what happened to the baby - what happened to the mother - who exactly is the new gardener? These would have been answered in a true Golden Age mystery.
A murder at the big house has brought up not only questions about this murder but about a death that happened years ago. When Lavender is asked to come and stay to see if she can shed any light on the matter she readily agrees. Was the death a case of mistaken identity? All the players seem to have an alibi but who left the note that pointed the finger at the youngest daughter of the house? Why is the oldest daughter (a product of the first marriage, whose mother died of a heart attack) still keeping such a close eye on the household and her inheritance? Why are they thinking of shipping the son abroad? Why cannot the youngest daughter follow her dream? Notes found and lost. Can she unravel this as she does her yarn?
