3.0 out of 5 stars Not A Mrs. Malory Favorite, June 23, 2007

I ordinarily love all of the Mrs. Malory books by Hazel Holt. I felt
very uncomfortable with the ending of this one. In fact I am still a
bit unsure of the reason for the murder of Adrian Palgrave. I know there were many who hated the writer and could have put him away but I still feel the ending was a bit confusing. I would be interested in seeing if anyone else agreed with me.

In her usual way of weaving a story around a death, Hazel Holt gives the readers a taste of English life past and present besides a history of the country in a most light hearted manner.
