I gave this book 4 stars since it held my interest enough that I bought  the Spring and Summer mysteries also.  There are definitely a lot of holes in the plot but at least I was pleasantly surprised at the reveal.  As with the other two of her books that I have read, the author spends altogether too much time describing clothing and meals-- Way too much time.  I like books that are descriptive however and , despite her going overboard on the clothing/food descriptions, she is able to make you feel that you are familiar with the homes and other environs of the characters.  The characters are, as we are prone to say in these reviews, well drawn and well rounded out.  I just wished that I, like Lady Harrington, always had freshly made pastries for unexpected guests.
