Book Club should have been two weeks ago but that was when I was still running Eldest around after his Op!!! Better late than never as they say!!!!
If you like Agatha Christie then you will love Jessica Fellowes, who is the niece of Julian Fellowes creator of “Downton Abbey”! The Mitford Sisters were real and in fact the youngest of the sisters, Debo, married Andrew Cavendish the 11th Duke of Devonshire and resided at Chatsworth House.
This story is woven about the sisters when they were young, in fact Debo has only just been born. Louisa Cannon escapes London and her terrible Uncle and takes a position as assistant to the Sisters’ Nanny. However a murder on a train has an impact on the whole family but especially Louisa and the eldest Mitford Sister Nancy (an author in real life). Nancy persuades Louisa to help her investigate the murder and the connection to their family, whilst Louisa is trying to stay away from London and her violent Uncle.
So far there are three books in this series, I have book number two and I really enjoyed this one so will be getting the third one. As I say if you are a fan of Agatha then you will love these books.

As predicted it has been raining all day today and due to rain all day tomorrow. I was going to try and get some pictures of our Autumn trees but they just look very wet and very sorry for themselves at the moment. Sunday is supposed to be a better day so I will try and get some pictures then.
Have a Wonderful Weekend you lovely lot.
Hugs, Susie xx
This sounds like a great read! Mom needs to add this one to her list. That cup of tea looks so soothing~
Love mysteries!! I’ll have to give these a try. Have you ever read anything by Jan Karon?? Love her Mitford series…my mom gave them to me. Poor Treacle will just have to spend her time in her basket…I wish I could join her!!
Those sound like my kind of books and my e-library has the first two so have put them on my wish list to read when I finish the current book I am on.
