I want to read more of Bainbridge and Soarks, the two marriage bureau ladies who solve crimes. Light reading and amusing character portrayals gave this book of nurder an Agatha Christie-like feel without being heavy.

Gwendolyn and Iris own a marriage agency. They have been hired by Mrs Adela to find her husband a new wife. Mrs. Adela is dying of cancer and she wants her husband to have someone to take care of him after her death. But, when Mrs. Adela is found dead in Epping Forest of an apparent suicide, the clues do not add up! I loved these two ladies. Not only are they witty, they are great friends to each other, not just work partners. I was captivated with Gwendolyn and her plight. It seems Gwendolyn has been in a sanitarium and she is trying to dissolve her conservatorship and boy is this a process. I have not read any of the books in this series. It is not necessary that you do so, BUT…the sanitarium story is something I must go back and find out! I enjoyed how this mystery unfolded. It is not at all what I expected when I picked this book up. This would be a perfect read for by the pool or on the beach. Need a good, Agatha Christie like mystery…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today! I received this novel from the publisher for a honest opinion. (read less)
