From the tip of his black Homburg to the crease in his cheviot trousers, he's the epitome of a stylish 1930s English gentleman. His only problem? The body he just discovered.
Drew Farthering loves a good mystery, although he generally expects to find it in the pages of a novel, not on the grounds of his country estate. With the help of beautiful and whip-smart Madeline Parker, a guest from America, Drew proposes to use the lessons he’s learned reading his mysteries to solve the crime. Before long, he realizes this is no lark, and no one at Farthering Place is who he or she appears to be - not the butler nor blackmailer, the chauffeur nor embezzler. Trying hard to remain one step ahead of the killer - and trying harder to impress Madeline - Drew must decide how far to take this dangerous game.

It was fun to go back to the beginning when Drew and Madeleine met each other. Sparks fly of course, and I loved that Madeleine defined herself from the get-go as a strong, intelligent, capable gal. Historically, I don't imagine a young woman would have been permitted that level of independence and freedom, but that didn't really bother me. The only thing that really felt out of place was when Madeleine voiced her religious beliefs. Without any indicators that her faith was a critical part of her character, the first few times she voiced scripture didn't feel organic to the story. Drew's faith journey, however, worked very well, and I think the author smooths this out in the next installments of the series.
Simon Vance's narration is excellent and reminded me at times of Cary Elwes's Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride and also of Robbie Coltrane's Hagrid in Harry Potter. MORE FUN! His performance paired with the author's terrific descriptions of people and scenes made it easy to feel part of the story.
I'll definitely continue reading the series with my ears.

Good British Cozy Except for the Religion

if you're offended by characters who have to talk about their religious views then you can skip it, but really there is not that much proselytizing. Isn't it okay for some characters to have religious views? As long as the whole text isn't selling the same religion.
As for Simon Vance, the narrator, I don't think he's well suited to the material. There are humorous passages but everything comes across as the same tone so instead of being comic relief they're just distractions.
a mixed bag
