Murder in the Manor is Book 1 of the Lacey Doyle series by Fiona Grace
Lacey Doyle, 39 years old and freshly divorced, needs a drastic change.
An excellent start to a fish-out-of-water series.
Lacey jumps at the chance to move to England. I’m not sure about the logistics (work permits take longer than they do for her) but the story is fun.
With so much to do to set up the series, the murder almost seems like an afterthought. It’s not, of course, and weaves nicely into the story.
This is the kind of story that would work in several genres, taking out the murder. I’m glad it made it to cozy mystery though, as we’re in for a treat.
The story seems to start slowly but quickly picks up pace when the body is found.
