A murder-mystery-type weekend meant to clear the name of Richard III turns into a different type of mystery weekend.

The reading theme for June is "numbers," so I thought this would be a good time to get this book off of my shelf. I learned more than I really wanted to about Richard III and the groups dedicated to rehabilitating his image. Otherwise, this was a lovely British country house mystery, with plenty of asides, including the "detective" recognizing that it was a British country house mystery. Lots of red herrings and weird characters and references to classic detective fiction. Not a bad read for a lazy afternoon.

I will set this aside for the Mystery VBB, since my turn is coming up again.

Adding this to the Mystery VBB organized by bookstogive.

This book went through 2 rounds of the VBB unclaimed, so I am removing it and finding another way for it to travel.

This book was left over at the meet-up today so it went on the shelf.

Thank you so much for sharing this book with me at the Springfield, Virginia, Starbucks* meetup of BCinDC. I'll be saving it to release in my Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720).

* I tried the "blonde" coffee today at Starbucks. It tastes as bad as all other Starbucks coffee. :(

Enjoy the book!

I selected this book from the Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720) to travel elsewhere...

I'm releasing this book in the BookCrossing booth at the Gaithersburg Book festival!
