A cozy mystery set in 1920s Britain that was… ok. Nothing special, easily solved.
I found the POV character, Charles Knox, a bit of an idiot and just wished that it was actually about Angela, one of the other characters who seemed much more interesting. And it seems that the rest of the series is about her, so I wasn’t alone in thinking that! For that reason alone I will read the next in the series and see if it’s worth continuing.
