"Retired professor Emily Cavanaugh and her husband, Luke, are taking a much-needed break from Windy Corner and spending their honeymoon five thousand miles away as paying guests at Fizhugh Manor in Oxfordshire. Quaint nearby villages and the manor's impressive turrets and arches capture Emily's Anglophile heart, but when she meets its dashing young heir, James Fitzhugh and his American wife, Allison, James's cousin Penelope, his dithering uncle Roger and the manor's formidable dowager, Lady Margaret Fitzhugh, it's clear that class prejudice, resentment and secrets threaten to tear the family apart. Is there more to a fatal accident than meets the eye? Emily soon finds herself in the middle of a family drama redolent of Forster's classic novels, but can she pull off her own masterstroke to catch a killer?"--Publisher.… (mehr)

This fifth book in the "Crime with the Classics Mystery" series was an delightful cozy mystery set at an English country estate not far from Oxford. Our protagonist, retired professor Emily Cavanaugh Richards, and her new lawman husband Luke, have left the States for a much yearned for honeymoon in England - to feed Emily's Anglophile passion. They're the first guests of the recently listed Airbnb, Fitzhugh Manor, within Oxfordshire. The dowager, Lady Margaret, is clueless of her grandson's and granddaughter-in-law efforts to keep the estate an on-going income-producing concern. The estate's family dynamics are a bit testy for certain, making things a bit uncomfortable for the happy honeymooners. After a few days of sightseeing away from the manor, there is a death on the estate grounds and Emily and Luke cannot help but insinuate themselves into investigating the sensitive incident.

The writing is solid, the setting of scene is rich and descriptive, and the character development is quite good. For the most part, I anticipated the divulging of the details except for one delicious twist near the end. But I shant give that away. At some point, I'll go back and read the stories which lead up to this one. This was a solid cozy mystery and quite enjoyable. ( )
