This is the third in a well written cozy series.
It's set in 1929 England with a dysfunctional wealthy family and the very independent daughter who was self-sufficiently working in a library (despite having earned a science degree at Oxford). She discovered that her uncle died and the inheritance that was left to her includes a large townhouse complete with laboratory, a lot of money, a detective agency, and her first case. Clara is learning more about the business of a detective agency and how her operatives do their work. I loved the first two, but between vision issues and more severe allergies this year I was devastated to find that the ebook is not TTS enabled and it was just too much work for me to enjoy reading it. Guess I'll have to stick a crowbar in my wallet and get the audio. I really liked the first two in series.
I requested and received a free temporary EARC from Embla Books via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
