This was a okay read. Set in Britain just a after WWI, it has a quaint feel to it. The story itself is good, however the book could have ended about 30 pages earlier than it does. I was enjoying the story and writing enough that I reserved book two of the series when I reached the halfway part. I did feel the last 30 pages took away from the story. It was overly obvious how it would end and took away from the rest of the book
