A Quiet Life in the Country

Marvelous! Would that more murder mysteries provided this many laughs! I am so, so happy this is a series. Just the right length, plot motors along. Tidbits of background for Armstrong and Hardcastle left me intrigued but not frustrated at the lack of detail, because you get a feel for them as characters very quickly, though I'll be happy to learn more of them, and others introduced here, in later books. ⚠️Period typical classism, misogyny
