Another absolutely wonderful book in a fantastic series. I have such fun with these books and, like the mothers and governesses in the story, I would be very happy to read a new Mallory and Dr. Grey adventure every year.

This particular adventure takes them out of the city, which is a wonderful change of pace for the series. The countryside setting changes up their methods of mystery solving, keeping things fresh and interesting for both the characters and the reader.

Like all great countryside mysteries things move a little slower and the suspect pool is smaller. So we were really able to focus on the limited characters and the interpersonal relationships between them. Which ended up being at the very heart of solving this mystery.

We also got to see the main characters we have grown to love make some real strides forward. Now that Mallory has officially decided to stay in the past she is able to really put down roots and grow even closer to her companions. Her “will they won’t they” dynamic with Dr. Grey really works for me. As a big fan of slow burn relationships, I loved every tiny step forward, stolen glance, and witty exchange they have in this book. I cannot wait to see what they get up to in the next one.

I truly recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of mysteries and cannot thank the publisher and Netgalley enough for letting me read it early. A true 10 out of 10.
