The Lady Hardcastle series is rather a favourite of mine, so I was delighted to be given a review copy via NetGalley. The Fatal Flying Affair does not disappoint.

I loved this book, just as I have loved every single one in this series. I love the characters, and the banter between Lady Hardcastle and Florence in particular. We also get to see a little more of Harry and his family in this one. I love the lightheartedness, the general understated (but very funny) humour, and the silliness. I always feel happy when I read a Lady Hardcastle book!

I really enjoyed the aeroplane aspect of this story, and the fact that Lady Hardcastle and Florence are back working with the government again. The mystery itself (or as it turned out, three related issues!) was interesting, and the solution was not immediately obvious.

If you’re looking for a lighthearted mystery, with just the right amount of adventure and silliness, then I recommend this story.

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

The books in this series never fail to please. The tongue=in-cheek humor and unique characters set the books apart from other cozy mysteries. Yes, Lady Hardcastle and Flo are a bit over the top but they are still engaging and the pace of the prose helps to lighten the atmosphere. Look forward to reading the next one !

This perfectly captures how I imagine England in 1911! The characters are vividly described and the dialogue suits the story so well. The mystery itself is a sound plot which holds the reader’s attention from first page to last. This is a good traditional mystery which will please fans of Agatha Christie and the Miss Fisher mysteries. .
