Keeps the reader guessing to the very end. An accomplished crime debut and huge fun to read
This accomplished, frothy, clever, historically sound and believable story with its timely reminders of the inequalities of 1920s life is huge fun to read
Absolute blissikins. Set in 1925, this is a delightful mashup of real and fictional characters
A lively, well-written, entertaining whodunit
True and glorious indulgence. A dazzling example of a golden age mystery
The Mitford social setting is a lot of fun
An extraordinary meld of fact and fiction
All the blissful escapism of a Sunday-night period drama in a book
A gripping, glamorous whodunnit
A delightful escapist period piece to brighten the darkest days of winter
This story is drenched in detail and feels both authentic and fun. Curl up in your favourite reading spot and enjoy
Fellowes, the author of several Downton Abbey companion books, excels at depicting the inherent tensions between the upper classes and their servants
Exactly the sort of book you might enjoy with the fire blazing, the snow falling etc. The solution is neat and the writing always enjoyable
