This and the other Lord Harrington mysteries are OK light reading for an Anglophile like myself.  They are set in the late 1950s  at which time I was a young mother so I find the addition of a nostalgic element very pleasing.  Usually I prefer a 1920=30s setting but, since this is set in a village rather than a manor house, it has sufficient things about which I can learn.The mysteries are reasonably complicated but could have been told in a short story just as well.  Ms. Florkiewicz  takes up most of the book telling us in great detail what each of the main characters is wearing and/or eating at every possible occasion.  Also, to my taste, the Harringtons make bosom buddies out of new acquaintances too easily and too often. If there are more Harrington stories at a low price, I will buy them.
