T.E. Kinsey's A Quiet Life in the Country
Hat tip to Christine, who recommended this series to me when I said on social media that “I want to read a mystery where someone dies at a fancy house in England!!” This series centers on the widowed Lady Hardcastle, who has an unusually adventurous background, and her longtime lady's maid/friend/bodyguard (the narrator, and a delightful narrative voice), whose background is also unconventional. They’ve just retired to the country in 1908 England and soon come across a body while on a walk in the woods (but don’t worry, someone DOES die in a fancy house!). The mystery resolves kind of quickly, but I really enjoyed all the characters and look forward to more of these. A/A-.
