Summary
A high-society murder. A spirited lady detective. Can she outclass the killer before an innocent person takes the fall?
London, 1923. Olive Belgrave needs a job. Despite her aristocratic upbringing, she’s penniless. Determined to support herself, she jumps at an unconventional job - looking into the background of her cousin’s fiancé, Alfred.
Alfred burst into the upper crust world of London’s high society, but his answers to questions about his past are decidedly vague. Before Olive can gather more than the basics, a murder occurs at a posh party. Suddenly, every Bright Young Person in attendance is a suspect, and Olive must race to find the culprit because a sly murderer is determined to make sure Olive’s first case is her last.
Murder at Archly Manor is the first in the High Society Lady Detective series of charming historical cozy mysteries. If you like witty banter, glamorous settings, and delightful plot twists, you’ll love USA Today best-selling author Sara Rosett’s series for Anglophiles and mystery lovers alike.
Travel back to the golden age of detective fiction with Murder at Archly Manor.

Entertaining mystery
Despite the irritation of the occasional Americanism slipping into the oh-so-English setting, this is an entertaining and enthralling mystery.
I like it enough to have bought the next two books in the series as I was listening to the end of this one.

Light and easy to consume
Enjoyable and engrossing. A nice way to enjoy location London in the UK in 2021. Just enough escapism to entertain and intrigue.

Terrible narration
I love listening to books of this genre, but this is not a very good example. The narrator is wooden and it lacks depth. I only listened to the first 5 minutes and couldn't continue. I wish I had listened to a sample first.

Terrible narration
The narration is very stilted; trying far too hard to over enunciate which really affects the flow of the story. Americanisms slipping in ruin the setting as well. I’m a couple of chapters in but unsure if I can listen any further.

An American view of Twenties England
Not a bad story but fed up with the silly mistakes synonymous with an England written in the US. We don’t have sidewalks and an upper class young woman in this era would not have referred to her mother as “Mum”!!

A good story
But the narration ruined it for me, it was very slow and deliberate. I am certain that with a better narrator it would be far more enjoyable.
