Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  Alan.M | Jul 12, 2021 |   The series began as a farce: presumed orphan from South Africa (and world traveler on the cheap) comes to rural England and finds that she has inherited the title and all that from uncle who is recently deceased. She has little idea of how people are expected to behave in this milieu and is a klutz, to boot. The best part of it all is The Butler Who Knows Everything who helps her with anything, and never treats her like a ninny. I missed the last episode and I will go back and read it, not because the info is not referenced in this one but because I really enjoy all the ongoing (as well as new) characters, but because the mysteries are so well done. The publisher's blurb is a really good hook and I loved this read! I requested and received a temporary digital ARC of this book from Bookouture via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! (  ) jetangen4571 | Jun 7, 2021 | inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"Summer, 1921. Lady Eleanor Swift, the best amateur sleuth in the country, is delighted to be in charge of the prize-giving at her village summer fair. But the traditional homemade raft race takes a tragic turn when the local undertaker, Solemn Jon, turns up dead amongst the ducks. Jon was the life of any party and loved by the entire village. Surely this was simply an awful accident? But when a spiteful obituary is printed in the local paper, Eleanor realises there may be more to Jon’s death than first thought. Despite handsome Detective Seldon giving her strict instructions not to interfere, Eleanor owes it to Jon’s good name to root out the truth. So with her partner in crime, Gladstone the bulldog, Eleanor starts digging for clues…When another local dies in a riding accident, the police refuse to believe he was murdered. But a second vindictive death notice convinces Eleanor of foul play. Solemn Jon’s assistant, a bullish banker and a majestic marquess make her suspect list, but it isn’t until she finds a dusty old photograph that she knows the true culprit behind both crimes. Then another obituary appears – her own! Can Eleanor nail the killer before she too turns up dead among the ducks?"--Amazon.com Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Just a pure delight from start to finish. Ellie is a feisty, independent woman in a stuffy pre-war England, and her constant efforts to improve the lives of those around her are admirable and compelling. Throw in Clifford, Gladstone the dog, and a household staff battling with the arrival of their first ever vacuum cleaner (with the inevitable results!) - all of this and it's the perfect way to while away a lazy afternoon. 4.5 stars.
