Fans of Jacqueline Winspear will fall in love with Dandy Gilver and the Proper Treatment of Bloodstains by Catriona McPherson—a fun and refreshing cozy series set in 1920s Scotland, featuring a witty and spirited socialite sleuth.
Lollie Balfour thinks her husband of five years is going to kill her. He's having her followed, listening in on her phone conversations and steaming open her mail. Even worse are his whispered threats, hinting at how he’ll accomplish the deed.
Dandy Gilver is used to having a lady's maid, not being one. But to get the complete story, she must go undercover—costumed in grey serge and sensible shoes. Can she find out why Mr. Balfour has decided to get rid of his wife, before he gets rid of her maid?

This just didn't come up to my expectations. I found myself bored and feeling like the story would drag on forever. I like cozy series and am always on the lookout for more, so I'm really sorry to say that I didn't like this. It is my first in the Dandy Gilver series, and perhaps being set at a strangers house whether than interplay with her 'home characters' had something to do with it. On the other hand, I just didn't much care for Dandy. Back to my sure things.
