I am sorry that I have not come across this series before. I enjoyed the village setting, the era, the determination of the two ladies who were brilliant in their detection, and brought such a genteel and a lot of understated humor typically British to the story.
Set in Littleton Cotterell it all starts with a sheep mauled to death. The stories start with the brutality of the hilling and when Sid Hyde is found mauled to death, the stories of a panther let loose in this English village abound. When Sids death is confirmed as murder, followed by another similar death, people in the village are in turns terrified and in a frenzy.
The story was intriguing and one knew the solution lay within the village itself. I will be looking out for more of Lady Hardcastle.
