Marion Prickett

Guessed the resolution all except one detail by end chapter two!

I read this book years ago and my abiding memory of the series is that the author failed on the nuances of British people and life and the ridiculous pub names. Although to be fair real pub names have rather caught up with the book and no longer seem so ridiculous.

Excellent! I love these books.

It is all in the characters, yes the plot lines, the suspense and even the descriptions are all great but the characters are brilliant described and by the end of each book I feel I know each one better and that they could be real (except of course it is fiction).

More historical research required. This could have easily been set in the here and now if there had been less domestics.

Brilliant!
