đTake âDownton Abbey,â add a lady interested in science who becomes involved in a murder mystery, and youâd have âPoison at Pemberton Hallâ by Fran Smith.Â
đ§ȘAs Vita Carew pursues the murderer, the book considers some serious questions about education (and obstacles women encountered in 1903), the perceptions of beauty, and beauty versus brains. Thanks to Vitaâs dry wit, the story has a light, fun tone. I was rooting for Vita to catch the culprit and pursue her dreams.
đRead-alike recommendations include mysteries with female scientists/sleuths and more Edwardian mysteries.
