I would like to thank Sapere Books for the opportunity to read and review Death of an Old Girl.

Who doesn't love a cozy British mystery? I must admit that I had an idea who committed the crime once the body of Mrs. Baynes was found, but I had no idea why. It was quite fun to keep reading and see how Pollard put the pieces together to ultimately solve the crime. (I'm purposefully being vague here because I would hate to spoil the story for any reader!)

The plot was tight and the ending, the solution to the mystery, made sense. Lemarchand also did an excellent job tying up other characters' loose ends, and I was happy to hear that the two new relatives were at peace and getting along. Death of An Old Girl isa true classic detective story, in the style of Agatha Christie.

So, why deduct one star? The only reason I deducted one star was because there were quite a few names thrown out at the beginning of the story, and not enough about each name to help me determine who was who in relation to the storyline.
