--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (regarding Murder in the Manor)
MURDER IN THE MANOR (A LACEY DOYLE COZY MYSTERY—BOOK 1) is the debut novel in a charming new cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace.
Lacey Doyle, 39 years old and freshly divorced, needs a drastic change. She needs to quit her job, leave her horrendous boss and New York City, and walk away from the fast life. Making good on her childhood promise to herself, she decides to walk away from it all, and to relive a beloved childhood vacation in the quaint English seaside town of Wilfordshire.
Wilfordshire is exactly as Lacey remembers it, with its ageless architecture, cobblestone streets, and with nature at its doorstep. Lacey doesn’t want to go back home—and spontaneously, she decides to stay, and to give her childhood dream a try: she will open her own antique shop.
Lacey finally feels that her life is taking a step in the right direction—until her new star customer turns up dead.
As the newcomer in town, all eyes are on Lacey, and it’s up to her to clear her own name.
With a business to run, a next-door neighbor turned nemesis, a flirty baker across the street, and a crime to solve – is this new life all that Lacey thought it would be?

Murder in the Manor
A little slow getting to the murder. But good plot. Good story. Leaves you hanging at the end with her father. PD
Ok read
But it went on and on and on. I became bored about half way through the book.
I liked & finished it.
It was upbeat which I liked, but felt like a cheesy romantic book my mom used to read. It took too long to get to the murder!
Also I suggest the writer learn the difference between British and American adages. Even their regular manner of speech sounded too Americanized.
Beware of giving the end away, I knew the second she found the Bible with compartments, that was where the daughter had the key.
