Crow Nails it., Oct 19 2011
By Brandt Dodson "Author" - Published on Amazon.com
Donna Crow has long been known for her fiction, but with a Most Incovenient Death, she has attracted a new fan.
I must admit, I'm not a big reader of historical mysteries, although I like mystery fiction and historical ficiton. But in "Most Convenient Death", Crow had me at the second paragraph with her description of the "cragg" man in a tall silk hat. Her apt description leaves little doubt of the time period in which the novel is set and for Anglophiles everywhere, this book is a treat. Recommended.

The Delight Is in the Details, Oct 27 2011
By Becky - Published on Amazon.com
Although I don't make a habit of reading historical fiction, I found Donna Fletcher Crow's "A Most Inconvenient Death" to be a fascinating journey into the daily lives of nineteenth-century British aristocrats and their servants. She did an amazing job of creating believable fictional characters and scenes to embellish the true stories of real-life individuals. Her detailed descriptions, which were seamlessly woven into the story, made the book believable as well as visual in my mind. I could easily picture the character's homes, furniture, clothing, carriages, hairstyles, fields and much more. And I learned about communication methods, sources of entertainment, court procedures, customs and mannerisms of the day.The mysterious deaths of innocent people and disappearances of not-so-innocent people keep the hero--and the reader--guessing. Step-by-step, the author builds confusion, mystery and tension, but not without moments of levity and spiritual insights.
All in all, "A Most Inconvenient Death" is a fun, educational read guaranteed to make one contemplate life and death, right and wrong--and how much fun it would be to float over the British countryside in a hot air balloon, sipping champagne and waving to the farmers and hunters below.
