An Improper English Mission

Olympia Brown Mystery #6

by Judith Campbell

Olympia Brown Mystery No. 6: When Olympia Brown is invited to attend a religious conference in England, she soon discovers there is more than faith on the agenda. Someone on staff has a well-calculated plan to destroy The Moorlands, including the great stone house itself. Olympia discovers embezzlement, tainted food and a prescient housecat named Thomas, all of which eventually fit into a pattern-but not before she falls victim to a killer's twisted plot. With Father Jim in the States, Frederick must assist his lady wife in this page-turning tale of hatred and revenge.

I fear this series has become somewhat formulaic, but I still find them enjoyable and readable. This tale being set in England was a nice change. Childhood memories and the need for revenge of perceived wrongs provide the fodder for the plot. In the end, however, I think it was a bit saccharine and unrealistic.

As with the other books in this series, this plot was quaint and predictable. Still, I enjoy reading them. They are a nice break from more thought provoking reading.
