5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks to Kingsbury..., Mar 15 2004

I enjoyed this book, as I have all of Kingsbury's works. The reviewers who condemn Ms. Kingsbury, are inaccurate at best. This book is not sloppily written, or poorly researched. I wouild suggest that before they pick up their poison pen to write a review, that they do a little "research" on their own, and print the facts. Bravo, to Ms. Kingsbury, for her delicious rebuttal!

I don't usually comment on reviews of my books. I consider it everyone's right to form an opinion. Indeed, I am always most grateful that someone has taken the time to write a review... even if it's vitriolic, such as the one by "Bess from Lebanon, NH." I'm sorry she didn't enjoy the book, but then I can't please everyone. I must however, correct one glaring error in her statements. The lady states that I mentioned King George VI in my Edwardian novel. The page she was referring to is #61. At the bottom of the page it states quites clearly that it was George Fifth who was a barrister. Since it is plainly spelled out, I would suggest that Bess from Lebanon acquire spectacles.

This review is from: No Clue At The Inn (Paperback)

I was terribly disappointed in this mystery. I had enjoyed Kingbury's Manor House mysteries, and so looked forward to this era, setting in a resort on the seacoast in England and the time of year. The characters are shallow, one-dimensional, the main character is a nosey-parker, with nothing to do but fawn over servants and come to conclusions that the author doesn't let the reader in on.There's no Christmas presence in this book, and lots of bickering between the main character and her husband.
Early in the book, she describes the barrister club, and informs us that King George VI was a member--this a novel of Edwardian England! I'm an Anglophile albeit an American but I picked up on this error and tut tut to the editors at Penguin who did not. Terribly disppointing-I'll leave the other mysteries by this author at the bookshop.
