I really hate rating books, cuz I expect different things from different genres. A black labradoodle, and Buffy, an apricot standard poodle. I live with my spouse of 40+ years, Jim, and our two dogs, L.C. So thought I'd highlight the beaches of my state this year. I live in Niceville, FL, on the Florida Gulf Coast. This is a new series for 2022, with a summer release for the first two books – 1. And, importantly, there is no filler, no cliffhanger end, and no two-dimensional characters. Often, other sub-plots bear upon the case, which means these are longer and richer stories than a simple murder mystery. Instead, the suspect or suspects must be pursued, trapped, and captured. The murderer will never ‘confess’, neither will the suspects crowd into a room at the end for the great revelation. Story: Murder Mystery – Clues are sprinkled throughout the narrative and never withheld. Sophie is a young woman of her era, behaving as such and speaking in the way a woman of her class would have spoken back then. For example, there were no radios in homes in 1920 because the BBC had yet to be formed and make its first broadcast.Ĭharacters: The regular cast are normal people from different stations in life with no special powers.
Setting: Various, but including houses similar to Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, and larger homes of the Agatha Christie era. Soon, she’s embroiled in difficult situations – upstairs and downstairs – as her domestic staff (secret agents) solve mysteries while hunting for spies and killers. Sophie is a young, genteel woman of that era who faces those changes while starting her own business in London. Sophie Burgoyne – a cozy mystery with a healthy dose of historical realism, danger, and light-hearted moments.Īfter World War 1, Britain went through many changes, with every aspect of society being affected.
