This series improves with each new instalment, and this is the best so far even if I missed the usual setting.
I had a lot of fun in read this story and it brought me back memories of when I was a young girl studying at a private school.
Even if it was a long time after 1921 some things didn't change and the "rule” and behaving in ladylike way was a must even if they were quite progressive.
Lady Eleanor is an unusual woman, a rebel according to expected woman behaviour of her age, but at the same time her school experience helped her to become what she is. I love her character arc and she grew on me with each book becoming a favourite character.
We get to know about her family, her childhood and some memories are quite moving as we meet the lonely child who loss her family.
Clifford and Gladstone are as lovely as usual, and they play an important part in the story.
It's a complex mystery, a whodunnit based in a closed environment and a mystery full of red herring, twist and turns.
It kept me reading and turning pages as fast as I could, and I thoroughly enjoyed it as it's highly entertaining and gripping.
I appreciated the historical notes at the end of the book and the well written and interesting characters
I can't wait to read the next story.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
