Murder at Archly Manor

1920s High Society Lady Detective Mystery, Book 1

By: Sara Rosett

Narrated by: Elizabeth Klett

A high society murder. A spirited lady detective. Can she out-class 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 bestselling author Sara Rosett’s series for Anglophiles and mystery lovers alike.

great intro book

looking forward to reading more into the series. it introduced the main character well and set her up for the series. looking forward to listening to the rest of them. bought the whole series for 1.82 each on audible sale. so excited and happy to get them all!

Perfect for a light entertaining read.

Appreciate the historical facts and accuracy. Voice narration was pleasant. Enjoyed the twists and turns in the story.

Overall just OK

A little slow and lacks enough gravitas to be a serious defective story and lacks the humor to make it a fun light read.

The performance was excellent.

The story is interesting, the characters were realistic and the performance brought it to life.

A heroine who is actually intelligent

I enjoyed the varied characters and the detailed setting. The main character was genuinely observant and intelligent in her actions. A good puzzle!
