Lady Rample Steps Out
This cozy period piece combines mystery, fashion, and a hint of romance in a well written novel.
Entertaining Cozy Mystery
This was an entertaining cozy mystery. I like mysteries set in the '20s, '30s, and '40s (I totally blame Agatha Christie.) So, I am an easy mark for this series as it takes place in 1930s London, featuring Lady Ophelia Rample. Ophelia is a recent widow and because she is fabulously wealthy her eccentricities are tolerated by society. Basically, Ophelia and her friend Chaz are at a jazz club when a murder happens in the back rooms. Ophelia who had noticed some oddities throughout the night decides to investigate. Overall, I liked this book it didn't break any new ground or anything, but it was a fun read. I will probably continue on in the series.
Very Enjoyable
Good mystery and characters and the look back at 1918 and to the flow of the story. A little romance and a kooky aunt and you’ll love the book.
