And Then There Was the One
And Then There Was the One | Martha Waters
2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
From Martha Waters, the author of the "enchanting" (Entertainment Weekly) Regency Vows series, a new historical romance set in 1930s England with a murder mystery twist. In a quaint village in the Cotswolds, Georgiana Radcliffe has accidentally become an amateur detective after helping solve four murders in a single year. When the chairman of the village council turns up dead, everyone agrees with the official ruling of a heart attack, but Georgie can't help but suspect that the council chairman is a fifth victim. Now, murder tourists are flocking from around the country, in hopes of becoming sleuths themselves. Along with her reporter friend, she reaches out to a famous London detective for assistance in ascertaining why they have become a magnet for murder. But the fancy detective is simply too busy--or can't be bothered--to help, and instead dispatches his secretary, Sebastian Fletcher-Ford--a posh womanizer who, truthfully, is just trying to get out of his hair, much to practical, no-nonsense Georgie's dismay. But as they investigate in the charming Buncombe-upon-Woolly--with plentiful scones, sheep on the village green, and murder tourists at every turn--Georgie finds that her previous assessment of Sebastian may have been wrong, and rather than solving a murder, she may be solving for love instead.

It's the 1930s, Georgie has solved three murders that happened in the small village in the Cotswolds. Quite a lot of murders for this small village. When another member of the community dies a seemingly natural death, Georgie writes to a famous London detective for his help. But the detective sends his young rather handsome and very flirtatious associate instead.

A cosy mystery with a #romance subplot, or a romance with a mystery subplot. 😁

Agatha Christie would no doubt approve of this cozy mystery set in a small village. A few red herrings and incompetent police and many nods to Miss Agatha herself and you have a great cozy. While I don‘t remember Ms Christie having a fondness for romance, the couples added to the fun. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy.
