A Five Star Review

Five reasons I'm giving Five Stars to:

The Verity Kent Mysteries by Anna Lee Huber.

1. The Setting - These mysteries unfold in 1919,

just as the Great War comes to an end. The war - with

its tragedies, heroics and secrets - colors all the books.

2. The Protagonist - Verity Kent is a superwoman of

her time - she saw action as a Secret Service agent

during the war, has been solving complicated mysteries

ever since, and is always the cleverest, most observant

person in the room. And she is gorgeous and buys her

cloths in Paris, all at the tender age of 23. But she is

strong and fun and human and I don't hold this 

overachieving against her.

3. The Plots - The books have a feel of the classic

British murder mysteries with intricate plots, plenty

of twists and turns, and a lovely mix of mayhem

and social observation.

4. The Toys - Verity 'married well' so beside

the dresses from Paris there are swanky cars,

country estates, society parties, jazzy nightclubs, and all 

the glamorous trimmings of the bright young things 

of the era.

5. In short - If you like your murder mysteries set

against an interesting historical background, with 

attractive characters, plenty of energy and a little

romance, this could well be series for you. 

(This is a series best read in order, if possible).
