This one was THE BEST of them all so far. This should be a freakin movie - I don’t know if it’s because it’s early what I needed but I was cracking up over the comedy of errors that was this installment.

Review - What I like about this series is that they don't strictly have to be read in order, and can in fact be stand alone books. I love the camaraderie between the tenants and the servants, not just in this one but in all of them. It's unusual and gripping. I loved Emily, and how she tries to fit into London ton society. I did feel that more could have been made of her servant background to add a bit more spice. Mr Goodenough was a very background character, weak and uninspiring.

The staff at 67 Clarges Street are not excited for the season. The Goodenoughs, an uncle and niece, are renting the home for the season. But they quite negotiated the price down on an already inexpensive house and the staff fears that means they will not be generous. Not like the Earl of Fleetwood who tries to take the house but is disappointed.
However, they are all surprised to find out that Emily and her uncle are not quite in the way of the normal ton. And the more they discover, the more they are wanting to help her.
This one in the series was a little less believable but still a good listen.

Another fun book in the series! Not sure how it's going to end, but I'm glad things are starting to look up for the servants of the house!
