Proof that I read something other than picture books. For all of you folks that love mysteries, this is a good place to start. It is Britain’s upper-class in the 1920s. A great novel. Sure it is slow in the center, but the last 5 or 6 chapters. This is the first book in the series. Daisy is from the upper-class, but works for the fun of it. She doesn’t have the typical snob of the Brits. She is an author for a magazine, and takes photos. She helps the detective solve an accident turned murder. Then she helps the murderer get away.

Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun trip back in history. But I will warn ya, you need to know your British slang.
