Lucy Anne Trotter is free-spirited and a bit zany, but she always tries to enjoy every day to the fullest especially since her early life in the orphanage was quite a hardship on the slim young woman. When a guest dies at her newest post as governess, she is the first to be accused. She runs from the manor to the only man who has ever looked out for her, Lord William Adair. She was confident he would prove her innocence and find the real murderer.
I adore Ms. Wylde’s books. They are so entertaining and full of such crazy antics and fun. The secondary characters in this book were equally intriguing especially Elizabeth, another governess at the manor. The two young woman team up to try and solve the mystery. This was an interesting pairing especially since their personalities were so opposite, but it kept the book moving along at a good pace. Murder, secrets, betrayal and friendship is a combination that makes this author shine. If you enjoy a lighter fare, I would definite recommend Ms. Anya Wylde. I can’t wait to read her next book.

When books say laugh out loud funny; they generally aren’t for me… This was a scream and a great mystery too.
What a humorous murder mystery! Lucy never keeps life dull and her penchant for getting into scrapes continues in the sequel to “Murder at Rudhall Manor” as she finds herself a suspect for a murder at her new place of employment.
