Light-hearted cozy English mystery series set in the 1920s never disappoints.
Lady Eleanor Swift is off to be the guest speaker at her old boarding school in this 7th installment. St. Mary's doesn't hold a lot of good memories for her as she attended soon after the disappearance of her parents when she was 9 years old. Unfortunately, the speech day is interrupted by an untimely death of one of Eleanor's favorite teachers. Could it be murder? She is surprised when Detective Chief Inspector Hugh Seldon attends the scene and even more taken aback when she and Clifford are asked to stay on to do some investigating. No sooner do they start making discreet inquiries when yet another suspicious death occurs. Someone is killing teachers, but who, and what could possibly be the motive? No spoilers.
Another enjoyable quick read with some of my favorite characters. I love the banter and interaction between Clifford and Eleanor -- everyone should have such a butler. And will Eleanor and Hugh finally, ever, take their relationship to the next level? Can't wait for the next book!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. And, incidentally, it is best to read this series from the beginning to fully appreciate it.
This is the 7th in a series that should be read, from the beginning, in order.
Genre - cozy mystery
