What readers say
Readers like this wartime village series for its group of amateur sleuths, clean content and well-researched historical detail, with the historical notes a frequent favorite. Many say the writing and plotting improve as the series goes on. Criticisms are that some plots are easy to see coming and that certain entries lean toward spy drama rather than a classic puzzle. Opinion on individual books varies, but most find the characters and setting appealing.
Best for: Readers who want gentle World War II village cozies without graphic content.
