THE BURNING ISSUE OF THE DAY Lady Hardcastle, Book 5

The Lady Hardcastle Edwardian-period mysteries are lots of fun, especially for avid anglophiles and especially on audio. Narrator Elizabeth Knowelden portrays the aristocratic detective and her trusty maid, Flo. With the help of an eclectic group of Lady Hardcastle's friends, they work to solve a fatal case of arson and save the life of a suffragette who is falsely accused of the crime. Knowelden gives each friend or foe in this story a unique voice. There is no lack of emotion or drama in her presentation, but it is the witty and so very English humor that makes this cozy mystery memorable.
