This was such a good read. As I have not read the first two volumes, I was not introduced to the characters or any of those stories. I was confused at the relationships between people and even at the main character, who was narrating. But that didn't stop the story from being appealing. The prose was interesting and fits the genre quite well. The author was able to lay out their story in a fairly logical way. There was a little too much 'telling' and not enough 'showing' but otherwise, it was quite enjoyable.

This has been a nice surprise.
I must confess I haven't read the previous books in the series, but I couldn't resist myself from requesting it... you see, the title says it all.
Now I want to read [b:A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder|36630895|A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder (A Countess of Harleigh Mystery, #1)|Dianne Freeman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511198988l/36630895._SX50_.jpg|58394698] and [b:A Lady's Guide to Gossip and Murder|42204311|A Lady's Guide to Gossip and Murder (A Countess of Harleigh Mystery #2)|Dianne Freeman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1538933787l/42204311._SX50_.jpg|65818422].

I totally recommend it, even if you haven't read the previous books. If you like cosy mysteries and historical sets, this might be you're next read.

The characters are nicely depicted. One can easily imagine them. I really like Frances and Mr. Hazelton. The story keeps you interested and wondering who might be the culprit?

Thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
