I could gush about the Mydworth Mystery series for as long as anyone let me.  Harry and Kat are the best fictional married couple I've found yet.  With the books being set in the 1920s, Harry and Kat have a completely modern relationship whereby Harry lets Kat lead - none of this "male superiority" in this marriage, and I love it! 

The only thing I would love to see Lavinia a little bit more involved in this as the murder happened at her own Masquerade ball but even without her being a predominant character in the novel it was still a winner.  I, of course, got the murdered all wrong as usual and the personalities of the characters are diverse - no two are the same.  And with the use of some fictional celebrities, Murder Wore a Mask did have a nice little flare! 

I adore this series and highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
