This book is just the type I love. A mystery series set in England, London particularly, with an aristocratic amateur sleuth. Finch has been recommended to me by customers, not only the ones who pass through, but regulars who have come to know my taste as intimately as I know theirs.So, I am vastl...
This first book in the series was interesting. Not riveting like contemporary mysteries, but more laid back. It's a sit by the fire and drink tea sort of mystery.

This is closer to a 3.5 than a 3. I must admit that I do enjoy cozies and novels that take place in the victorian era in general.
