Historical interest

Downloaded on a whim and really enjoyed it. The murder story in my opinion took second place. Instead a lot of focus was on the historical fiction, the juxtaposition of rich and poor, the charming group of Poppy and her friends. I really enjoyed it!! And the narration was first class. She did an amazing job doing different accents.

Loved this - charming and well paced
