Meet the Women of the WISE Enquiries Agency. The first in a new series.
Henry Twyst, eighteenth Duke of Chellingworth, is convinced his mother is losing her marbles. She claims to have seen a corpse on the dining-room floor, but all she has to prove it is a bloodied bobble hat.
Worried enough to retain the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency – one is Welsh, one Irish, one Scottish and one English – Henry wants the strange matter explained away. But the truth of what happened at the Chellingworth Estate, set in the rolling Welsh countryside near the quaint village of Anwen by Wye, is more complex, dangerous, and deadly, than anyone could have foreseen . . .
Review:
Raise your hand if you like British cozy mysteries.
Me! Me! Me!
This is the first book in a new series and one I hope lasts a good long time. A lot of the time in this novel is spent setting up the series. Its a getting to know you kind of book, which is a good thing, along with solving the case. In this book its did the Duke's mother really see a dead body on the dining room floor.
I loved the ladies of the WISE Enquiries Agency.
At times it was a bit slow going, but it really was a quick fun read!

Thanks to Laura, Patricia and Pamela - I don't seem to be able to find individual reply buttons (probably my fault!!) but I wanted to thank you all for your comments :-)
I enjoyed this one, too! A fun and refreshing approach to the traditional British cozy. (I think I'll use that as the title of my Amazon review!)
Thanks Lark! :-)
