Synopsis

Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter, and a little bit of romance—that's village life in wartime England . . .

An anxious mother begs Lady Elizabeth to find her missing daughter, and she finds it impossible to refuse. Her tenants are her children, and she'll do anything to keep them safe and happy. When she discovers the daughter's bicycle abandoned on the cliffs, and then the young woman's body washed up on the beach, Lady Elizabeth is faced with far more problems than she anticipated.

Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.

Goodreads review by Lynne

I am not sure who recommended this author/series. It was okay, but it read more like a 'Nancy Drew' mystery. Too many books-so little time. I won't be reading this author/series.......more
