Lady Osbaldestone and the Missing Christmas Carols
by Stephanie Laurens
A very cozy mini mystery! The more I read the Lady Osbaldestone books, the more I like them. I found the first book to be enjoyable, but a bit boring. Lady Therese Osbaldestone herself is such a strong, set-in-her-ways, old lady character, but it's hard not to like her. The first book seemed more of an introduction of this leading lady of the ton, her grandchildren (Jamie, George and Charlotte) and the country village of her dowager home.
This book was more lively and interesting than the first book in this series and I found myself settling into it more easily. Listening to the Audible narrator was very soothing and gave me more of a Christmas spirit.
Since I'll be participating in Kate Howe's "Cloak & Dagger Christmas", this book checked off FOUR of my prompts:
Prompt 1 - Alliterative Title (Christmas Carols)
Prompt 3 - A Book set in a Different Country (England)
Prompt 10 - Story with Nobility (Lady Osbaldestone)
Prompt 12 - Listen to a Crime Narrative (The potential crime was minor, but still.)
Now that I'm getting used to Stephanie Laurens' writing style and learning more about Lady Osbaldestone's family, I'm getting excited to read (or listen) to the rest of the books in the series.
If you enjoy nobility, small country estates and people, bossy older ladies and minor mysteries, then you should give these Christmas Chronicles a try!
