Über das Buch

It's 1919, and Louisa Cannon dreams of escaping her life of poverty in London, and most of all her oppressive and dangerous uncle.

Louisa's salvation is a position within the Mitford household at Asthall Manor, in the Oxfordshire countryside. There she will become nursery maid, chaperone and confidante to the Mitford sisters, especially sixteen-year-old Nancy - an acerbic, bright young woman in love with stories.

But then a nurse - Florence Nightingale Shore, goddaughter of her famous namesake - is killed on a train in broad daylight, and Louisa and Nancy find themselves entangled in the crimes of a murderer who will do anything to hide their secret . . .

    Very cozy and highly readable with lots of 1920's atmosphere. I really enjoyed that women played such a prominent role and I like that the author took so much note of the repercussions of WWI. However, the crime plot itself seemed at times too simple and in the end the conclusion came all too sudden. It felt slightly incongruous. However, I overall enjoyed myself immensely as I am a huge fan of the Roaring Twenties and will definitely read other volumes of the series. As historical fiction very vivid and stylish, a lot of fun, as crime novel somehow still lacking a bit.
