## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Really entertaining and fun!!!!
  

*by Y***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 2, 2023*

This book in my opinion, was outstanding. Why? Because how it's written. It's easy to fallow. And the characters are well written and often funny. The storyline is great too. I loved the premise of it. I won't give any spoilers.. Don't worry. I loved Jane in this. She determined to solve this case no matter what happens. I highly recommend. Enjoy.

    Easy to like but tonally jarring
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 23, 2022*

I like fantasy, sci fi, magical realism so why do the fantastical elements here feel a little off?  It’s  a wonderful premise- who wouldn’t want to spend a week in Storyton Hall and village with all of the charm and quiet elegance of the past and none of the bad, librarians who match you to your perfect book, unique shops with quirky names and a mansion with endless secrets and delights.  The writing is above average, liberally uses apt and often moving literary quotes and the characters act intelligently and with heart.The fact that the home is also part of a secret society and resort staff  are actually an elite security team - ok, sure.  It could work but it’s where the tones begin to feel jarringly off.  The series is set in Virginia but aside from occasional references to blue mountains, the setting could be Los Angeles, Hanoi, Mars or Narnia.  There’s absolutely no sense of place in the description, the setting, the language or the culture.  If anything, people talk and act as if they’re in a hybrid Austen and Bronte novel.  Edwin is hardly a person - he’s an amalgamation of every Regency romance ‘hero’ - moody, tempestuous, handsome.  He’ll grab you swiftly around the waist for a dance then stride away yet writes literary quotes on flower petals for the one who finally captured his heart.  Set in modern times (I think - people have cell phones and the Hall’s security team has an at home forensics lab) this kind of character is more like a fevered dream than a person.  It’s a world that smooshes together cozy mystery, spy tactics, period drama, a dollop of fantasy and a hearty helping of paperback romance.  It’s like going to an amazing buffet and eating a little of everything - it all tastes good individually but maybe you shouldn’t have put it all on one plate.In the end though, I like the kind and capable characters and a little snowglobe of a village that loves books and mysteries is hard to resist.

    Good mystery
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2022*

I think because I read a similar book. I had to give this a 41/2 star. It is nice to enjoy so many books. Thank you Kindle Fire.  I have had it for 2 years and just. Started using it. This got me through”my vacation”. Maybe I will start to use my laptop next. There is hope for this old girl after all☺️
