Book Overview

Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter, and a little bit of romance--that's village life in wartime England . . . An anxious mother begs Lady Elizabeth to find her missing daughter, and she finds it impossible to refuse. Her tenants are her children, and she'll do anything to keep them safe and happy. When she discovers the daughter's bicycle abandoned on the cliffs, and then the young woman's body washed up on the beach, Lady Elizabeth is faced with far more problems than she anticipated. Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.

A great start

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 25, 2001

A big fan of Kate Kingsbury's Pennyfoot series I cried when it came to an end. With this book she has introduced a charming new set of characters, the confused butler, the feisty house maid, the unfortunate cook and the handsome major. The village of Sitting Marsh is a contrast of old English customs and the modern World War Two culture. Lady Elizabeth is an independent woman who is determined to care faithfully for her village...

Absolutely Delightful!

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 12, 2001

Whenever I pick up a book by Kate Kingsbury, I expect to be delighted and entertained, and once again, Ms. Kingsbury delivers. A Bicycle Built for Murder, the first book in her new Manor House series, was a joy to read--full of charming characters, interesting historical tidbits, and with a mystery that kept me turning the pages. Bravo! I can't wait for the next installment.

A Bicycle Built for Murder

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 26, 2001

I just read the previous review from Eleanor Warder and I totally disagree. I am a computer programmer analyst and consider myself quite smart, but I didn't find the clues easy at all. And I don't think the book was fluffy. Ms. Kingsbury has built a reputation of writing cozies, and this book only enhances that reputation. I think the characters were strong, Ms Kingsbury strong point, as proven in her previous series,...

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 10, 2001

Kate Kingsbury, widely known for her Pennyfoot Mystery series, and Berkley Prime Crime, known for it's wide variety of successfully published mysteries, are together again, and the result is an exciting new mystery series. As in her last series, Ms. Kingsbury's new series is considered a cozy, and, in some corners, a historical mystery as well. A Bicycle Built for Murder is the first in the series.The Manor House seaside village...

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 1, 2001

The townsfolk are unaware that Elizabeth is broke due to her late husband's gambling habit. Her only source of income is rent she collects on the cottages on her estate. Still, she knows that the locals depend on her for leadership and since she enjoys...
