I am truly enjoying this series by Victoria Tait!
The books are easy and fast reading, well written. The characters are believable and fun. And, what can I say of the setting? You can't get better than the Cotswolds!!!
Keep them coming Victoria!!!

This was an okay plot line with no character work and bad writing. If round myself lost in scenes due to the lack of sentences which placed characters in setting or transitioned spaces or time. It was a little creative and I liked the antiques though so that why it was over a 1
FAKE DEATH by Victoria Tait
The First Dotty Sayers Antiques Mystery
Recovering from a head injury, Dottie Sayers is happy to be working at Akemans Auction House. Reluctantly, she agrees to take part of a Remembrance Parade honoring her late husband and all soldiers who died in the line of duty. Shocked when the body of a soldier is found after the parade, Dottie soon realizes she recognizes the man. As she assists the auction house in appraising items, she winds up discovering that the man was not who he appeared to be. Will Dottie be able to put the pieces together and solve the mystery?
FAKE DEATH is a perplexing mystery. As I started to read I soon became confused. Dottie's head injury was continually mentioned, as was the attack that caused it. But what attack? By whom? I thought I had made an error and started this series a book or so in, but no, this was the first in the series. Indeed for most of the book I felt as if I was missing something important.
Dotty acts more like a victim than a protagonist. She appears meek and subservient to pretty much everyone. I really liked Sarah and hoped she'd help Dottie come into her own. The story itself was interesting. I quite liked how the identities of the victim were revealed and Dottie's growing realizations as to what was going on. I loved Norman and Earl Grey and was captivated by the Duke's story.
FAKE DEATH highlights appearances and honor in a Cotswold mystery.
