Media Reviews
'Great escapism with enough of a puzzle to tingle the little grey cells'. Lesley Mason, The Bookbag 'Weaver lays the foundation for a solid series in her first novel as she channels the ambience and spirit of British society during the post-World War I years. She keeps Murder at the Brightwell moving at a lively pace with clever twists, droll humor and odd, but believable characters'Associated Press 'Weaver, a librarian by profession, brings a sense of classy '30s style to her first novel, which is a winner in every respect, and one especially recommended to fans of Agatha Christie, Nicola Upson, and other writers of traditional mysteries' Reading the Past Blog 'Shows great promise for a fun new series for those who enjoy the style of Allingham or Sayers' Bookgarden Blog 'Unexpected twists and turns and a delightful cast of characters... If you like your murder served up on a silver platter with a side of romance and an abundance of wit, this book is for you'. Historical Novels Society 'Murder At The Brightwell is a bold attempt to give new life to the country house mystery... Weaver is clearly a gifted writer. I am surely not alone in looking forward to her next offering' Daily Mail 'This charming, polished and engrossing debut novel brings to life the glamorous world of a 1930s British coastal resort where the rich and well-to-do gather for fun, intrigue - and murder' GOOD BOOK GUIDE 'An exciting mystery is in the style familiar from the 1930s novels of the mistresses of the genre - Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham and Dorothy Sayers ... a satisfying read with an appealing heroine' Mystery People
