The Russian Revolution throws in an added twist.Cathy Holmes 5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful main character, dry humor, and detailed historical settings Did I say humorous? I hope this is the first of many.Cheryl Leaf 5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!One of the best books I have read in a long time. The writing is witty and laugh out loud funny. Major Lennox is part genius and part goofball.Kindle Reader Ann 5.0 out of 5 stars Menuhin is close to genius.Although I buy way too many Kindle books, and generally enjoy them greatly, I am far too slothful to write reviews. However, I simply had to make an exception for MURDER AT MELROSE COURT. A brilliant work! Witty, sardonic, sweet, clever. Wonderful plot, superb characters, very very clever, hilarious and touching at the same time. This work compares well with the British classics of the golden age. I hope that the author will continue to delight us with many more Lennox mysteries of this exceptional caliber.If you are a fan of Authors such as Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, JM Dalgleish, Rachel Mclean, Simon Mclean or series from Joffe Books, this wonderful, authentic, Cotswolds Series is perfect for you!A simple must for fans of Hercule Poirot
