The Case of Miss Elliott: The Teahouse Detective: Volume 2 Baroness Orczy
This is an enjoyable, interessting and well-written set of detective stories. I found that I could only read a few at a time, however. Otherwise, they started to become a bit dry and repetitive, unfortunately.
The book features 'the old man in the corner' who meets a young woman journalist in a coffee shop and solves a different case each time with reason and logic. This old man has watery blue eyes and a piece of string which he twists into knots as he tells her the stories, which range from the case of a poisoned horse and the robbery of expensive black diamonds to the murder of a young matron and other mysterious matters.. They are clever stories, but I would have liked to know a bit more about the young journalist. Although I'd like to read all of the Baroness's detective stories, they don't have the magic of The Scarlet Pimpernel series.
I received this free ebook from Edelweiss.plus in return for an honest review.
