Kurland St. Mary Mystery

review 1: In this novel the author creates excellent characters, believable dialogue, and an interesting conundrum to be solved. Much in the style of Georgette Heyer, Lloyd does a good job of capturing the society of the time, including the frustrations of women with the strictures and expectations placed on them by a patriarchal social order. While creating a delightful period piece, Lloyd doesn't shy away from the very real psychological effects of war and the expectations society places on people. I look forward to the next book in this new series.
review 2: I thoroughly enjoyed this English mystery set in the early 1800's. Major Robert Kurland has returned from the Battle of Waterloo injured and unable to walk. He is attended to by his neighbor Lucy Harrinton, the ... moredaughter of the local rector. This charming mystery centers around their relationship, the social customs of the day and the mystery to be solved. I look forward to the second novel InThis delightful new series. less
