Not Alfalfa keeping an eye on the garden in case there’s a mystery to be solved! He must be inspired by our @bullybookclub August read, chosen by @pigdog_kenzie, @katharinewrites’ #BodyInTheGarden, for which Alfalfa and I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Calling all Anglophiles, this book is for you! Set in Regency England during war time, heroine Lily Adler overhears a murder take place while taking a breather outside at a party, and becomes a female Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery and save the day, and maybe also get the guy - her sidekick Captain Jack Hartley?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I liked most about the story was Lily herself - she’s strong willed, intelligent and is guided by her keen instincts and sense of justice. In a time full of female suppression, stuffy elitism and idle ladies, Lily is who you hope you would have been.

Would she have been able to galavant around London administering vigilante justice in Regency England? Were we asked to indulge in a bit of revisionist history? Maybe. But for me it didn’t keep me for rooting for Lily to prevail.

So Al and I will take a page for Lily’s book and go for a wander in the garden. You never know where adventure may find you. And if it does, I’ve got my Captain Jack at my side.
