"Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case. Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence's mean right hook, the pair set out to discover what really happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck? As they delve further into their investigation, they encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a séance with a troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer's family and friends who might just have motive for murder. One thing's for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her hands"--Page 4 of cover.… (more)

I also enjoyed this book alot more then book 1 in this series and i am growig to like all the side characters and both main characters are such a hoot! I loved how this story has so many elements of regency romances and also cozy mystery. The main character def gives sherlock vibes and I really am invested in this series. I did not see the end of the the mystery coming either!! Def excited for book 3!! ( )

These are delightful cozy mysteries with a great, strong pair of female leads. Super fun. I've powered through two this week and am onto the third and sad that there are only four so far. ( )

I just love this sort of mystery, so I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first volume.

Narrator Elizabeth Knowelden was once again spot on and conveyed the atmosphere perfectly.

If you like a cozy, clean mystery with humour and witty dialogues, as well as a reasonable plot, I can recommend this series. ( )

1909, has arrived and one week to the day after Lady Hardcastle and Armstrong had visited the local cattle market, a local farmer dies in the public house.
While trying to solve this mystery they are involved in a theft, and a séance with a troubled ghost.
An entertaining and interesting mystery with some good drawn characters.
