I'm not a huge cozy mystery fan, but I really enjoyed this novel.

I loved Betteridge and Miss Clack. The Robinson Crusoe references were hilarious (even though I personally didn't care for the book) as was Miss Clack's constant proselytizing. ...more

Although I did find this to be a page-turner once I get into it, I did struggle at first to find it as such. I am so glad I was able to persevere though. Many times since i have found myself chuckling at what I realize is a "Moonstone" reference. I admire Mr.Collins creativity in starting a genre which then became a long-standing favorite. ...more

SO. GOOD.

I was not expecting this to be so funny or excellently paced or to find myself relating to an English servant in such an intense way.
