Murder in an English Glade (A Beryl and Edwina Mystery Book 5)
By: Jessica Ellicott
Rating: 5 of 5
I’ve read every book in this series and have found, that with each ensuing story, I enjoy it more and more. While this story can be read standalone, you will miss the growth of the characters.
Beryl and Edwina are hired to conduct a fake investigation. While it troubles them to do so, the individual hiring them is part of the higher class. Constance Maitland can provide entry to a new type of client.
The intrepid ladies join an artist’s colony and Girl Guide Camp to conduct this unreal investigation but, much to their surprise (but not ours as this is, after all, a murder mystery), a death occurs. The question is, who is the perpetrator?
The ladies turn the fake into real and investigate this crime. Along the way, more and more history of the two is revealed, one to the other and also to the reader. In addition to the great whodunnits, it is the growing depth of these individuals that keeps me glued to the series.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
