A Quiet Life in the Country, T.E. Kinsey

Click for B&N link
The first book in Kinsey's Edwardian-era mystery series featuring spunky Lady Hardcastle and her equally spunky lady's maid Flo. This is definitely a cozy, and my taste runs to thrillers, but as a cozy it hits all the right marks. Lady Hardcastle and Flo are both likeable, clever characters with interesting backstories. Kinsey, I think, is at his strongest in the dialogue, which is peppered with period phrases, and he captures class distinctions in speech.
