Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoyed this mystery set in England. An American heiress is basically forced to marry but she twists it so it works for her. There is a lot of horses and horse racing, etc. I will continue this series. It‘s the first in the series.

Got a chance to do some reading by the river today. Glorious fall weather! 🍁🍂

Stella is an interesting character. Her father can‘t get accepted by the wealthy in America, so he finds an impoverished British family who needs his wealth. Stella is unaware that she‘s been promised in marriage to Lindy. An interesting look at how she‘s treated because of her habits and outgoing personality by the upper crust society she‘s been thrust into. When the murderer is revealed, the sense of entitlement is highlighted.

I started off REALLY not liking this one because 1. it was slow and 2. the male half of the leads was a total jerk, pompous and sexist. But I LOVED Stella and Lyndy evolved from a Neanderthal. 😂 Stella (a wealthy heiress from KY) is basically sold by her father, for 2 racehorses and bailout money for the Lyndhurst estate, all to gain an aristocrat in the family. The vicar is murdered shortly before the nuptials (which Stella knew nothing about)🔻

It's the last two days of #cozyinthesun! Make sure to finish up and review your last picks in order to be counted - we have a few people with really strong numbers, so you'll want to make sure you've everything in. (I, on the other hand, will try to finish up this one and then review my paltry numbers - July was so busy!!!)
