Albeit it with her uncle, but it's still a job. Even better is knowing that it bothers her mother. During a night out at the casino she becomes involved in a murder. Light and fast moving the story rolls along. Delightful fun.

Wonderful!!! I read this in two hours (including being interrupted by our dogs). Can't wait to read more by Isabella Bassett. I love murder mysteries and this one is absolutely delightful!

This is a light British mystery set in france. The characters are fun but the key clues are not revealed.

I was glad to find this series available to begin reading, and found the writing to be well done and thoughtful, with a lighthearted atmosphere yet clever mystery. I am looking forward to continuing the series!

I really liked this book. It was well written and kept me engaged. I am reading several cozy mysteries right now set in the 1920s, but each of them have a unique take for their character.I look forward to the next book in the series.

It was a pleasure to read about a quick thinking, observant young miss, however naive she may be. The culture of the day and the post WWI changing times underline the whole story.

Lady Caroline comes to work with her uncle as his secretary, which was more in line with checking out his hobby of exotic plants. While there she meets her late brothers friend, James and helps figure out the murder of two others at the hotel.

I enjoyed this book , the plot is good and the writing easy to read and flowing. The characters are likeable and well described.

Nice convoluted murder mystery intricately woven with intrigue, funny bents and a relatable heroine!I hope there are more in this series!

Really enjoyed reading this book and loved the characters. The only downside is the American spellings and some American words used. I know she has an American mother but she is supposed to be an English Lady. That didn't ring quite right. Saying that I have just ordered the second one of the series.

It took me a few chapters to get into this book but I’m glad I persevered. Hopefully, we’ll get to know more about Lady Caroline in the next book. A promising start to a new series.

Nothing too taxing here. The story is more about Caroline and her lifestyle and the era in which she lives than it is about a murder. Good for a sunny summer afternoon's read.
