Lady Osbaldestone and the Missing Christmas Carols by Stephanie Laurens - 4 stars

[Theresa]

Lady O finds her grandchildren on her Little Mosley doorstep for a second year in a row at Christmas, only this time at their insistence! To keep them entertained, she sets out to find some project or village mystery for them to solve. How fortunate is it that there is a new gifted organ master at the church who must have sheet music to perform, but alas! The book of carols has gone missing! Into this very mild adventure is dropped another granddaughter, this time a moody teen dropped on grandmama's doorstep for some shaping up.

Charming, all about location, period, and characters rather than plot, this was a lovely re-read in the dog days of August. I particularly liked the brief epilogue on this one which oh too briefly has you with Lady O and her daughters, the mothers of those grandchildren. This time I listened to the audio read by the superb Helen Lloyd who is perfect for this series.
