If You Like T.E. Kinsey Books, You’ll Love…

A Quiet Life in the Country is the first book in the Lady Hardcastle Mystery series. The book introduces us to the title character who is an eccentric widow who harbors a secret past. She also has a made named Florence who just so happens to be an expert in martial arts. The two of them live on the English countryside in 1908, looking for the quiet life. They don’t find it though as a dead body in the woods is found and the police have no clue who did it. Lady Hardcastle and Flo find themselves investigating the crime and they are surprisingly apt at it. A great start to this series and introduction to these characters.

The fourth book in the series, A Picture of Murder, is also one of the most popular. It’s Halloween in the small village where Lady Hardcastle lives and she’s hosting a group of actors in town to show their spooky moving picture. Things take a ghoulish turn when on the first night’s screening an actor turns up dead. Then on the second night, another one turns up dead. The police are once again clueless and Lady Hardcastle and Flo swoop in to solve the case before anyone else ends up dead.
