I thought I needed another talking book to carry me over my travels, so I grabbed this one off the library shelf. It is the third in the series, as usual I don't manage to begin at the beginning. Not having read the first two were not a hardship - it was easy to catch up.

I found the characters, setting and time period to be interesting and well portrayed. I wasn't sure I was going to care about Lady Rose and Captain Cathcart, but I was wrong. Chesney made the whole book a good read. The best part for me was that the Edwardian period was a time of major change in Great Britain and Chesney educated me on all of that. There wasn't much mystery, but I didn't mind.

All in all, a good read. I would recommend this to cozy mystery readers; to people with some interest in British historical fiction, especially if they want to know about Edwardian England.
