Publisher's summary

A high-society murder. A spirited lady detective. Can she outclass the killer before an innocent person takes the fall?

London, 1923. Olive Belgrave needs a job. Despite her aristocratic upbringing, she’s penniless. Determined to support herself, she jumps at an unconventional job - looking into the background of her cousin’s fiancé, Alfred.

Alfred burst into the upper crust world of London’s high society, but his answers to questions about his past are decidedly vague. Before Olive can gather more than the basics, a murder occurs at a posh party. Suddenly, every Bright Young Person in attendance is a suspect, and Olive must race to find the culprit because a sly murderer is determined to make sure Olive’s first case is her last.

Murder at Archly Manor is the first in the High Society Lady Detective series of charming historical cozy mysteries. If you like witty banter, glamorous settings, and delightful plot twists, you’ll love USA Today best-selling author Sara Rosett’s series for Anglophiles and mystery lovers alike.

Travel back to the golden age of detective fiction with Murder at Archly Manor.

refreshing!

loved it! I love the extra chapter where the author outlines her research of the 1920's from cultural sayings, about 20 book titles, and that she created a pintrest board of fashions and photos of a famous film star of the day.

Dropoed it

Not the light-hearted distraction that I was looking for. Too whiny. Typical everybody's against her until she proves that she's smarter than everybody.

relatively predictable

a very easy listen. there were times when you knew what was going to happen and it was mildly frustrating that the main character didn't get the info. the narrator did a good job and was fantastic at her pacing.

Most enjoyable

Truly enjoyed both the story line and the narration.
Not full of a lot of useless plot twists but, the guiltily party was not who I expected it to be.

What a fun period read!

If you like mysteries set in the 20's, you will LOVE this stunning early 20th century story.

Not Rosett’s best

This is the first and last of this series that I will listen to. The story line itself was okay but I didn’t like the haughty English in this book. I usually enjoy Sara Rosett. I was disappointed.
