Another entertaining installment in one of my favorite cozy historical mystery series.
Lady Eleanor Swift is taking in Wembley's British Empire Exhibition while aloft in a hot air balloon and sees a murder from above. By the time she gets back to ground, the shooter and the victim are gone. All she finds is a piece of a jewelry clasp almost hidden in the dirt. Of course, she's intrigued and frustrated by the situation. Meanwhile, she's been asked by Lady Philomena Chadwick to help her with locating a stolen pearl necklace. Lady Philomena believes that a member of her staff has taken it, and Eleanor agrees to go undercover at her home pretending to be governess to the Chadwick children. Are these two cases related and can Eleanor and her butler, Cliffor, along with her fiance, Detective Hugh Seldon, find out what is happening?
It's hard to keep coming up with great new plots in a long running series, so I appreciate that I still find these so enjoyable and look forward to them. I like the characters and always relish coming back to see what they get up to next. Love the period details about the clothes, food, homes, society, etc. and the historical references. I can't imagine reading these out of order, so be sure to start at the beginning.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend.
