Manor House Mystery, Book 6

By: Kate Kingsbury

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

The sixth book in the fabulous Manor House Mystery Series by Kate Kingsbury, the bestselling author of the Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries!

Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter, and a little bit of romance—that's village life in wartime England ....

Left with only a muddle-headed butler, a bossy cook/housekeeper, and a couple of energetic maids, Lady Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton has enough problems on her hands. Not only is she struggling to upkeep the sprawling Manor House and vast acres she inherited, she must also take care of her numerous tenants, while coping with the inconveniences and sacrifices of wartime England. Fortunately Sitting Marsh is far removed from the bombing going on in London and other cities. That doesn't mean that peace prevails in the tiny village. There's the handsome American major who takes over the Manor House for officers' quarters, and the group of belligerent housewives determined to take on the German invaders, not to mention a murder or two . . .

Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.

Best of the series so far

I was unimpressed with the narrator in the beginning, but she is either getting better or I’ve gotten used to her and find her more easy to listen to than the first book.

Characters are quirky and interesting. Storylines are unique with twists and turns and pleasantly surprising endings.
Books 1 - 6 were enjoyable to listen to. Looking forward to finishing the series.
