This sequel is less focused and not quite as delightful as Bel Lamington, but I still liked it. It revolves around the newly-married Bel’s efforts to discover the history of Fletchers End, the house she and her husband have bought, and the romantic prospects of her friend Louise.
A pleasant enough sequel to Bel Lamington. Enjoyed the added episodes to tie things up for Bel's friend Louise, as well as the lovely cozy atmosphere of a country English home that Bel and her husband buy.
