Murder on a Midnight Clear: A 1920s Christmas Mystery by Sara Rosett
4.0
Though Olive Belgrave has an understanding with Jasper Rimington, he still keeps part of his life a secret from her. Brimming with curiosity, Olive follows him to an estate far from town. A mishap with her car leads to Olive being hosted at that very estate. A wayward butler, a cast of unusual house guests, and a festive Christmas party complicate their stay giving the two a chance to work together to solve a mystery.
This book has so many components that I absolutely adore. First and foremost, the author is one of my favourites. Beyond that is the time period - the 1920s were such a showpiece of a decade. Then there is the setting - as an avid Downton Abbey fan, the old country manor tickles my fancy. Finally, I love both the winter season and Christmas, rounding out my wishes for a perfect story.
Murder on a Midnight Clear is a lovely cosy, superb reading for this time of the year.
