Murder at Ardith Hall delivers exactly what one hopes for in a cozy historical mystery; an engaging setting, a touch of intrigue, and a cast of characters that draw you in just enough to keep the pages turning. The mystery itself is fairly strong, though I would have liked to see a few more viable suspects to deepen the tension. There's a good collection of possible culprits, especially among those attending the seance, but not quite enough false trails to keep readers guessing for long.

Despite that, the book serves as a pleasant palette cleanser; murder and mystery wrapped in a story that doesn't demand too much mental untangling. It strikes a nice balance between atmosphere and accessibility, offering that comforting sort of suspense that satisfies without overwhelming. The pacing moves smoothly, and Shapiro's writing remains polished and immersive, making it an easy one sitting read.

Yes, I did work out the culprit before the reveal, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. There's charm in the journey itself, and Shapiro knows how to create a world you're happy to spend a few quiet hours in. Murder at Ardith Hall might not be the most complex of mysteries, but it's exactly what I needed; engaging, relaxing, and well crafted. All in all, a solid four star read.

A nice little palette cleanser

A wee bit far fetched in one or two place. His lordship is lead detective in this one. A good wee bit of escapism while dog walking and it’s a freebie!

Spooky going ons

I really like this series and it is interesting to see where it is going. I would say that of this series this one falls a little flat for me I don't know why because it is just as interesting.as the others. I think the seance going back to the train crash that killed his parents unnecessary. I will be interested to see what happens in the next story

An entertaining listen
