This is one of my favorite cozy series and I had expectations as Ms Burns never disappoints and I love all her series and characters.
This is not a favorite as there's a strong mystery that kept me guessing but Samantha and the characters seemed a bit watered down and faded.
i love them all as I love the British aristocrats but Samantha felt a bit too weak.
I'm sure the next book will be as brilliant as usual.
3.5 upped to 4
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
