petewit67 said I'd say I like this book and the series.. Seeing as this is book I'd say I like this book and the series. Seeing as this is book 3 and I read books one and two, and now I downloaded the sample to book four, I'd say I like this book and the series. The series is not what I would call GREAT, but it satisfies my desire for a cozy mystery set in Britain. The characters are pretty well developed, but I would like to know more about Lady Elizabeth and her house and the town of Sitting Marsh. This is why I plug on. I like them, I like the setting, I like the mysteries, and I think more will flesh out as I go. As I've said in other Manor house book reviews, this series satisfies my Downton Abbey withdrawals.

In many way. For fans of all PBS English village mysteries Emzee I enjoy reading this series very much. It takes place in an English village during WWII. The descriptions of the clothing, food and attitude of the English inhabitants and their attitude towards the American military personnel that are stationed there take me to that time and place. Some people might find this series "quaint", slow moving, or dated, but for those interested in likable and interesting characters and know what to expect from these books, I think you would enjoy them. I plan on reading all the books in the series.. Joanne said Latest book in series. Interesting twist at end. Would have loved to see more played on Martin's vision of Lady Elizabeth's father's "ghost". Normally do not read period period pieceswas a nice change for me.
