Amateur sleuth Flora Lively is back to investigate another mystery, and this time the body count is rising ...

When Flora’s best friend returns to England with a Spanish film crew in tow, Flora is thrilled to land a job on set at a glamorous country house. But when a member of the crew is brutally murdered, and the priceless Infanta Tiara stolen, suspicion falls on everyone at Hanley Manor – including someone far too close to home.

When an arrest is made, Flora is plunged deep into a puzzling mystery, with no idea who she can and cannot trust. Surrounded by suspicion and bitter rivalries, she must keep one eye over her shoulder at all times. Because the murderer is about to strike again ...

Series Description:
Meet Flora Lively in this new British amateur detective series. Along with her American sidekick, Marshall - who just loves to wind her up at every opportunity - Flora finds herself embroiled in deadly puzzles and dangerous mysteries, all while trying to manage her late-father's removals business in the heart of England. If you enjoyed Midsommer Murders or Death in Paradise, you'll love this - described as a cross between Jessica Fletcher and Agatha Raisin, Flora Lively is a new feisty murder-mystery sleuth (with a bit of romance and a lot of fun).

5.0 out of 5 stars A great cozy mystery

The first in this series seemed a little confusing but I'm glad I kept reading. The characters took on personality and depth and I enjoyed seeing them develop as the plot took on action. I read the second book straight through and loved it! I hope there's more in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars . Good story
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2017

This was a good story but I found it hard to find a connection with the characters. I don't feel that I really knew or understood them or their story. I also don't have a very good picture of the setting. Those two things are the most important parts of a story for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Cozy Mystery with a Great Leading Character!
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I loved Flora and Marshall, for me Flora was the perfect quirky sleuth that I like in a cozy and Marshall the romantic interest. While I was not too crazy about the story as a whole, it was an okay read for me, the ending was really good and came as a complete surprise. I also did like a lot of the side characters and the setting, a cozy English village. I would read another book in this series because I do like the characters of Flora and Marshall and would like to read more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars This British cozy mystery had me hooked from the first page
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015
3.5 stars
This British cozy mystery had me hooked from the first page, it was an enjoyable read, clean, without violence. I also love the small British town where the story takes place and its bizarre inhabitants.
The plot is well developed, it was fun to solve clue after clue the two murders in this novel. The characters are likeable and well defined. The protagonist is Flora, a young amateur detective, funny, determined and hardeaded. Her best friend is back to Hanley Manor with great news: with a Spanish crew should shoot a film in their own country. Flora is eager to work with them but one of the group is killed. Unfortunately, all the inhabitants of Hanley Manor become suspects. Flora will investigate on her own and try to find the guilty before it's too late. She must also fight with her love Marshall: they are really funny together.
This is the second adventure with Flora protagonist but can be read as a stand alone. I hope to read soon another chapter of this series.
It's a really enjoyable summer read, fast, fun, with lots of humor and a touch of romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who said country life was boring!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
Flora just seems to attract trouble where ever she goes. An idilic five day stay in the countryside turned into a murderous, action packed thriller of a ride. I like Flora's many sides. On the one hand she is determined, stubborn and a logical thinker but she also lets slip her vulnerable side every now and again. I think there is more of her vulnerable side for us to learn about in her next adventure. Again I liked the reference to local places and beauty spots that are not far from where I live and the many plot twists and turns that kept me addicted until the final page.

I must admit that I found the first few chapters dull. However, I persevered and I'm glad I did. The story picked up a pace and was enjoyable thereafter.

An excellent read. Don't care for the obligatory swear words but it is such an easy read! I like the way you're hooked as soon as you read the first page. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. There were no dead bits in the middle so couldn't put it down. CJ

I wasn't really sure about Flora when I started reading, but the story kept me interested and I won't be giving up in her just yet. I did think the whole thing a little telegraphed, but again I was interested to see how Flora worked it all out. It was quite nicely done. I'll read her next one and see how she progresses.
