Death at the Manor by Celina Grace
This was the shortest story I’ve read for some time but it
was a well written, well edited and very enjoyable one.
Written in the first person, the
main character Joan’s tale is told with an economy of words – what’s needed is
used to further the description and the plot with no unnecessary details.
The
story quickly unfolds, the murder mystery revealed in an interesting way, which
contrarily is the only part of the story I find a little implausible. Though
why shouldn’t a kitchen maid be able to present the police with both a deep suspicion
and fairly conclusive evidence?
The fact
that the tale takes place during the early 20th century means that
repercussion of removal of evidence from the scene of the crime seems to be
more acceptable than in current times.
It whetted my appetite sufficiently that I might dip into more of the cosy mysteries of Celina Grace.
Slainthe!
