Excellent story - not the usual Daisy story

Something out of the ordinary - high on Alex and investigative procedures, with a second Daisy adventure running in tandem. Appreciated the author’s exploration of officer vs enlisted issues left over from WWI. Daisy did stumble over a body, but was a few steps removed. Enjoyable, but wish Alex would stop downplaying Daisy’s efforts (at book 20). He should be smarter than that.

This is a series that pulls you into the tapestry of life in medieval England, with more of an emphasis on the average person, rather than the aristocracy and royalty. Hugh de Singleton is a man of his times, but possesses of an equities g mind with many talents. He makes mistakes,

This is the first work I’ve read by the author, and I enjoyed it very much. Interesting characters investigate a sudden death in a small English village - whose inhabitants are surprisingly tolerant of ghosts. Excellent period detail - highly recommend. The audiobook made many mundane tasks more pleasant.

Great story of a clever transcontinental couple who appreciate each other enormously. 1920’s glamour, gin and tonics, upstairs, downstairs, good manners, bad behavior, and a body in the garden - a great start for newlyweds.

I shamelessly listened to 12 book reviews before writing this review - they are very easy to binge on!

To remedy that, Rach and Su know their Heyer inside and out.

Their reviews and critiques make you feel you are part of your own Georgette Heyer book club, and that you should read the books all over again.

If you like Recency romances, their podcast is a must- hear.

My only complaint is that there isn't a comment section for each of the episodes, but that would probably inundate Rach and Su. Very enjoyable.

Cousin Kate is a very special mix of Recency romance, secrets, and family tragedy.

I've listened for too long to these ladies without sharing a review - they know their Georgette Heyer. Their podcasts are worthwhile discussions of this author's works - kudos!
