HRC: I love this series, so far (I’m currently listening to the 4th book). The characters are likable except when they aren’t supposed to be; Christopher is utterly charming with a great sense of humor, the stories are interesting and the narrator is perfect. I also really appreciate that most (and hopefully all soon) of the books are available as audiobooks. These books are perfect if you’re looking for a lighthearted mystery that holds your interest.

paminocala: Cozy historical mystery that is full of quirky characters. The author has a habit of dropping casual comments throughout the plot that make murder enjoyable. I found plenty of snigger to myself moments through the book.

WelshDragon: I enjoyed this book. The characters are all very different, yet interesting. The plot was wandering all over the place, and the premise, finding the murderer was definitely in place. I had no idea who the murderer was and so was surprised at the end at who it turned out to be. To be honest that is not unusual for me not to have a clue. Still I enjoyed the book and definitely recommend it.

emma: Ich kam zu Lord Edgington über den Newsletter einer anderen Autorin: Sara Rosett hatte ihn empfohlen und da ich bisher mit ihren Empfehlungen ganz zufrieden war, hab ich mir die kurze Version "Death in High Places" zuerst heruntergeladen. Beim Lesen wurde ich neugierig auf den Frühlingsball und was soll ich sagen? Wunderbar!
Wie bei manchen Classic Crime Stories aus dem Golden Age ist auch hier die Lösung eine, die vorher unmöglich erschien - und der Weg ist ein wahres Labyrinth von Bedächtigen, Beweisen, Aussagen, Gegenaussagen ...
Sehr empfehlenswert!

Banjo: What a fabulous tale about an extraordinary Lord, who was once a revered senior Scotland Yard officer, & a young grandson who’s he’s chosen to teach his “trade”. His large aristocratic family all come under suspicion after 2 murders. The local police have no idea of the truth, but after a wide ranging investigation he reveals the killer.
Nothing prepared me for the truth! But I’m looking forward to following their exciting future cases. Do read it, you’ll find it addictively entertaining!
