A sweet, cosy murder mystery set during the Second World War.
I enjoyed the setting and the mystery, although there were a couple of things that didn't quite work for me.
One detail I struggled with was Freddie visiting Polly in her bedroom while they were staying at someone else's stately home, even sitting in there eating with her. They were "engaged", but still unmarried, and it just felt surprisingly relaxed for the period. Perhaps I'm being overly conservative on behalf of 1940s Britain, but it kept pulling me out of the story!
I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator was good overall. At times, though, the slightly sing-song delivery, particularly when a character was uncertain or questioning something, started to grate on me.
Still, a sweet and enjoyable cosy mystery.
3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
