gina_gina 's review for:

Emily Goes to Exeter by M.C. Beaton
4.0

"A little housewifery was the way to a man's heart."

Someone more or less dismissed this book as "basically Jane Austen with a dash of Agatha Christie", but it is more akin to the meeting of Georgette Heyer's Regency romance novels and her mystery novels.

The set-up is long, and the resolutions of both the mystery and the romance felt a bit rushed, however this was the perfect light, quick, and enjoyable fare!
