. A bittersweet end to a light and enjoyable non-murder mystery series (Well, non murder until now). I think this one was the best yet, and the perfect way to end the series. Joan and Janet are clearing away the last of the boxes from the overloaded carriage house when they discover a skeleton. Constable Robert has never handled a murder inquiry before, so a more senior CID officer is brought in from nearby Derby. When the CID officer proves to have no interest in solving the mystery, newly arrived Edward Bennett pulls a few strings and he and Janet follow up on the few missing persons cases still unsolved from the time estimated that the body was placed there. Chasing down the leads, Janet and Edward pick apart the clues and solve the mystery.
I loved every minute of this book, and I’m sorry to see this series end, but I’m hoping a new series starts with Edward and Janet’s new adventures
Edit: I went back and re-read The Bennett Case (Markham Sisters #2) last night and OMG Edward did put something in the safe! It was nice to revisit when they met and really highlighted all the events in this book. So sweet and charming!
