This novel is the first of an eight-volume mystery series and, as might be expected, a great deal of time is spent introducing the characters who live in Near Sawrey, England, where Beatrix Potter has recently bought the farm of the title.
The book comes "fully loaded" with an author's note, a cast of characters, historical notes, a map, resources, recipes, and a glossary. The English country village resonates with charm and humor, and sleuth Beatrix positively shines.
