The new family that moves into Mallowan Court is almost mirror opposite of Lady Gold's family。 Lady Gold invites her new neighbors over for tea， and finds them to be anything but friendly。 As Lady nears the end of her pregnancy， there are some complications， and she is bed-ridden。 But there is something odd going on across the court way with the new neighbors。 Felicia is more than happy to keep Lady 'in the know' of what is going on， but is it real or Felicia's vivid i I voluntarily reviewed an The new family that moves into Mallowan Court is almost mirror opposite of Lady Gold's family。 Lady Gold invites her new neighbors over for tea， and finds them to be anything but friendly。 As Lady nears the end of her pregnancy， there are some complications， and she is bed-ridden。 But there is something odd going on across the court way with the new neighbors。 Felicia is more than happy to keep Lady 'in the know' of what is going on， but is it real or Felicia's vivid i I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 。。。more

Ginger is due soon and still manages to get involved with a murder investigation。 This is another wonderful Ginger Gold mystery。 This time she must use her friends and servants to gather the information to find the killer。 The book moves at a good pace and the mystery kept me guessing。 I loved it。

This charming series gets better with each book。 It's like visiting old friends as the characters lives and relationships develop。 In this installment Ginger and Basil are awaiting the birth of their child。 Ginger's Doctor recommends bed rest so Felicia becomes Ginger's eyes and ears when a neighbor's heart attack appears to be murder。 I absolutely loved how Felicia stood out in this book and it was interesting to read how is society treats her now that she's Lady Davenport -Witt。 Even though be This charming series gets better with each book。 It's like visiting old friends as the characters lives and relationships develop。 In this installment Ginger and Basil are awaiting the birth of their child。 Ginger's Doctor recommends bed rest so Felicia becomes Ginger's eyes and ears when a neighbor's heart attack appears to be murder。 I absolutely loved how Felicia stood out in this book and it was interesting to read how is society treats her now that she's Lady Davenport -Witt。 Even though bedridden and counting on Felicia and Basil for information， it is Ginger who "uses her grey matter" to solve another intriguing mystery。 A great series that I highly recommend - highly anticipating the next。 。。。more

another exceptional Ginger Gold mystery I love this series！ It is always a delight when a new book comes out， and I am never disappointed。 As Ginger and Basil await the coming baby， murder arrives in the neighborhood。 Barely have the new neighbors moved in than one of them dies。 Ginger will have to solve this one from bed rest， however， and Felicia is thrilled to help。 No complaints here， just good reading。

The new neighborsI loved this story。 Ginger is the only one that could solve a murder while lying in bed awaiting the birth of her child。I was intrigued by how interested neighbors are in a new family moving into the neighborhood。 The gossiping maids and the teatime gossip。Felicia did a good job as a stand in for Ginger as her eyes and ears。 She was gutsy in obtaining some valuable information。 Between Felicity and Ginger they were able to solve the murder of their new neighbor。There were many s The new neighborsI loved this story。 Ginger is the only one that could solve a murder while lying in bed awaiting the birth of her child。I was intrigued by how interested neighbors are in a new family moving into the neighborhood。 The gossiping maids and the teatime gossip。Felicia did a good job as a stand in for Ginger as her eyes and ears。 She was gutsy in obtaining some valuable information。 Between Felicity and Ginger they were able to solve the murder of their new neighbor。There were many suspects and they all had some type of motive。 I never guessed the guilty party， but then I never do。It was a good read and I enjoyed reading it， I would recommend it。 。。。more

Murder on Mallowan Court may be the 17th book in the Ginger Gold series but this one is just as fresh and intriguing as the previous books。 Ginger is within a few weeks of giving birth but that doesn't stop her from being involved in another mystery。 This time from her bedroom she must use her sharp mind and her family to sleuth out the clues for her。A quickly paced plot with only a few suspects， red herrings and plenty of twists kept me reading until the end。 I love how Felicia has matured thro Murder on Mallowan Court may be the 17th book in the Ginger Gold series but this one is just as fresh and intriguing as the previous books。 Ginger is within a few weeks of giving birth but that doesn't stop her from being involved in another mystery。 This time from her bedroom she must use her sharp mind and her family to sleuth out the clues for her。A quickly paced plot with only a few suspects， red herrings and plenty of twists kept me reading until the end。 I love how Felicia has matured throughout the series; but this one shows how even though she is now a married Lady she is still trying to find her place in the 1920's society of London。 The birth of Basil and Ginger's daughter， Rosa， was the perfect ending to the story。 I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this book。 All of the above opinions are my own。 。。。more

Ginger Reed， once known as Lady Gold， is very pregnant， uncomfortable and having another strong Braxton Hicks contraction。 She felt this last trimester was “dragging along like a directionless slug”。 Unbeknown to her Dr Longden is going to make her life more challenging by putting her on a weeks bedrest。 Baby Reed must have enough time to be born healthy。 Maybe the new neighbors， the Foote family， moving in across the street， would offer some company and amusement。 It wasn’t long before they did Ginger Reed， once known as Lady Gold， is very pregnant， uncomfortable and having another strong Braxton Hicks contraction。 She felt this last trimester was “dragging along like a directionless slug”。 Unbeknown to her Dr Longden is going to make her life more challenging by putting her on a weeks bedrest。 Baby Reed must have enough time to be born healthy。 Maybe the new neighbors， the Foote family， moving in across the street， would offer some company and amusement。 It wasn’t long before they did offer intrigue; unfortunately company and amusement were lacking。 The old patriarch died of a heart attack and Ginger felt something was off。 Was it just her boredom at work。 Her former sister-in-law， now Lady Davenport-Wit， returns from her honeymoon in time to help Ginger relieve some of her boredom。 Felicia becomes Ginger’s eyes and ears and occasionally goes with Basil Reed to question suspects when murder is determined to be the cause of death。 The Foote’s are a strange lot。 Why are they stiff， unfriendly？ Is it just readjusting after being abroad for a few years？ Where does the brashness originate？ Is there a conspiracy afoot？ Could the staff be involved and how？ You must read this cozy mystery to have these and your own questions answered。 。。。more
