“Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey in Florence's second case, a charming reminder of all the country house murders of Britain's golden ages”

“Cannell offers an Agatha Christie–like whodunit with touches of Olde World England and a soupçon of romance. With a multistranded plot, strong characters, and echoes of Rebecca, this mix of romance and crime will appeal to a wide range of readers.”

““Downton Abbey fans will pick up on the tone immediately: imagine the ever-reliable Mrs. Hughes narrating a mystery. Stepping away from her long-running Ellie Haskell series, Cannell has created a fascinating and leisurely paced historical, excelling at period details and class distinctions.””

“A strong cast of village characters and an intricate plot will keep cozy fans turning the pages”
