8/14

Lottie Jones retired, but not from a usual job.

She retired from murdering people.

She decided she was done with murdering, but one day Plum, a podcaster, appeared at her door, asking questions about unsolved cases and she just couldn‘t let her go.

It‘s not as gruesome as it sounds, and Ms. Downing certainly knows how to write a good book.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.

Did you ever read a book that you couldn‘t wait to get back to? This is THAT book.

MRS. ENDICOTT‘S SPLENDID ADVENTURE is a refreshing read with a charming main character and a wonderful change of pace for me.

Setting is absolutely adorable and you won‘t want to put the book down or leave the characters.

I want to live in that villa overlooking the entire sea and village. 5/5

8/5

So many unsavory characters with secrets and one big secret a few are keeping and a secret that is causing all that‘s going on.

The main character Georgia is speaking in second person which is a bit confusing at first, but you become accustomed to it and focus more on if she really killed her sister Annabelle and what she is up to as well as what the other characters are up to. 4/5

It‘s the 1930s and the Eugenics movement is in full force as Lena comes from Germany to Ellis Island and then works for Silas Wolfe in the mountains of WV.

It was a good life until the social services arrived and declared her as an unfit mother as well as Silas to be an unfit father to his two children.

A heartbreaking and upsetting read but an excellent, well-researched history lesson. 5/5
