A Quiet Life in the Country

By T.E. Kinsey

Book Overview

Lady Emily Hardcastle is an eccentric widow with a secret past. Florence Armstrong, her maid and confidante, is an expert in martial arts. The year is 1908 and they've just moved from London to the country, hoping for a quiet life.

But it is not long before Lady Hardcastle is forced out of her self-imposed retirement. There's a dead body in the woods, and the police are on the wrong scent. Lady Hardcastle makes some enquiries of her own, and it seems she knows a surprising amount about crime investigation...

As Lady Hardcastle and Flo delve deeper into rural rivalries and resentment, they uncover a web of intrigue that extends far beyond the village. With almost no one free from suspicion, they can be certain of only one fact: there is no such thing as a quiet life in the country.

Customer Reviews

Easily my favorite cozy mystery series!

T E Kinsey has a natural gift for writing lovable characters with entertaining banter and wit. The exchanges between the two main characters remind me of relationships seen on Downton Abbey. Very cozy reads, not at all gratuitous or graphic.
