I... have to actually do stuff. Stuff that isn't reading. Unscheduled life interference in my #24in48. 😒
But it's stuff I can do with headphones. So I picked the first KU cozy mystery I could find that comes with audio included.

Manor house murder, check. Spunky ingenue, check. Grumpy butlers and stable hands, check. House party murder, check. British Cozy Mystery, check! Good narrator and holds your attention- another audiobook finished while clearing up the house and walking in the snow!
5⭐️for me. Edmondson hints at deeper mysteries with her lead characters, lays the foundation for future mysteries spurring off of the current one involving the death of an Earl who had enemies, and injects just the right amount of humor. Hugo's sister, Georgia, is reminiscent of Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce in her wit and precociousness. This just felt like a classic murder mystery that could be termed "cozy"..maybe. I'm hesitant with that label.
Amazon Suggestions got to me. The sneaky devils had to show me this cover, title, and blurb it as a touch of Downton Abbey, whisper of Agatha Christie, and a bit of Le Care.
An early Cold War era novel involving a wounded intelligence officer and the discovery of a skeleton beneath a church flagstone.
✔️Roadtrip Essentials- cozy scarf, mystery book, and an eyebrow raising Santa Twix pack... before Halloween. 🎃
Overall good English mystery. Do think how the murderer was confirmed was a bit silly. Liked the setting and the characters. Lots of tea,scones, and whisky. Will read the sequel.
When you figure out the person standing beside you is the murderer, best not to tell him. Especially if you are alone, in the mist, down by the river. 😮
