Murder at the Manor by Catherine Coles
4.0
A hunting weekend at Hessleham Hall seems to spell a rather dull time for Tommy and Evelyn. But when the lord of the manor is bumped off, things get rather too exciting.
Even though Manor at the Manor was set in the 1920s, it had a modern feel to it. This led to a very comfortable readability even though it wasn't completely true to the era. The main characters were immediately likeable and the pacing of the book was skilful. As much as I enjoyed this book, the clues to the murderer's identity were lacking. In addition, only a very very hazy foreshadowing marked one character's intent.
The story definitely was a joy to read. I managed to keep up with the immense cast of characters because they were all written so well. The author had thoughtfully provided a who's who list at the beginning of the book, but for once I didn't need it! I look forward to more adventures in this series.
Recommended as a genuine cosy.
