Murder on the Village Green: A 1920s Cozy Mystery (Lady Felicity Quick Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Rosie Hunt (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,387 ratings

A body in the duck pond? Journalist Lady Felicity Quick is on the scene! But so is a devious killer, in a village full of secrets…

England, 1921. Murder has stunned the peaceful Devonshire village of Lower Diddleton. Local resident and intrepid reporter Lady Felicity Quick is ready to write up the dastardly crime when a dashing and talented journalist arrives from London to steal her story.

Ignoring suggestions that a young woman of a certain standing has no business meddling in murder, Felicity uses her inquisitiveness, persistence, and natural charm to unearth Lower Diddleton’s secrets. With her mostly faithful canine accomplice at her side, she interviews everyone from the village baker to the president of the plant and floral society.

But when an innocent family friend stands accused of the crime, Felicity has no choice: to find the real killer, Felicity must join forces with her rival. Can she swallow her pride before the murderer gets away with it — or is Felicity risking a bullet through her cloche hat?

If you love puzzling murders full of quirky characters and the charm of 1920s England, then you will love this historical mystery! Murder on the Village Green is perfect for readers of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, Magda Alexander, and Agatha Christie.

Rosie Hunt is a British author of cozy mysteries both puzzling and historical. Her books include the Lady Felicity Quick mystery series set in the green and pleasant countryside of southwest England in the 1920s.

A history addict and former journalist, Rosie grew up immersed in the worlds of Poirot and Miss Marple. This early exposure to baffling murder mysteries rather coloured her outlook on life, and it was only a matter of time before she wrote her own.

Rosie loves clotted cream, knitting, and Golden Age crime fiction and never misses an opportunity to visit a National Trust property. She lives with her husband and their fluffy, four-pawed overlord on a river in Northern Europe.

    Lady Felicity Quick is a stubborn one. Determined to be a news reporter, she does everything she can, including sidestepping her brother/editor’s instructions in order to get a story. There has never been a murder in the quiet little village near which she lives, but that’s about to change. Coincidentally, despite finally promising her a job with the newspaper, her brother has hired another reporter and given him the story Felicity is begging for.

    This truly is a delightful story. It reminds this reader that as much as women complain about the glass ceiling now, it was much worse just a century ago. Rosie Hunt writes an interesting story with no language or other troubling distractions. I will certainly read more of this series.

    This book was a enjoyable read. The characters are interesting, the plot meandered just a little, but was still easily followed, and the premise is finding out who killed the accountant new to the village and why. The answers are varied and surprising. I do recommend this book.

    Set in the early 1920s
    Lady Felicity Quick is walking to town to let the church leader know she will be quitting as the editor of the local newsletter.
    When she gets there, there's a small crowd in the village green including the pastor.
    They try to stop her from coming over to them, unsuccessfully, as there is a body laying on the ground.
    It winds up being a murder, and the main suspect is the man she has called her uncle for all of her life.
    Against her brother's wishes, she sets out to investigate the murder on her own to clear her uncle's name.

    Developed characters, a bit of humor, and a solid storyline.

    These characters are a delight to read and get to know.

    Lady Felicity is an interesting combination of traditional and modern with a definite portion of determination and intelligence. With an eye to working on her family newspaper, she lands herself in a bit of trouble seeking to write about the local murder. The story is a traditional cozy of the time with interesting characters and some red herrings, but all the information is given for the reader to solve the mystery. Lost one star since I was able to set it down without reading straight through but would recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Charming story with well drawn characters
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2023

    Out on an errand, Lady Felicity happens upon a very unusual event on the local village green: a dead body.
    In an era when ladies were starting to push for the opportunity to have careers, Felicity has just managed to persuade her older brother to hire her as a reporter for the family newspaper. Already recognised as an excellent writer for the parish newsletter, and the society columns of the newspaper, she immediately assumes this murder will be her first proper story. After all, she was the first journalist on the scene.
    However, her brother does not consider murder to be a suitable story for a woman to cover. Banned from reporting for the paper, Felicity decided to write a piece for the parish newsletter and uses her local contacts to get ahead of the handsome reporter her brother brings in. Of course, with a murderer on the loose, things can always get out of hand…
    Set in a charming rural Devonshire village, Lady Felicity is an engaging character, always trying to do the right thing by everyone. Her attitudes and doubts seem very realistic for a woman of this era, still half stuck in the past where her attentions should be on such things as horticultural endeavours and hosting society friends, and half on her future career.
    The mystery is anything but easy to get to the bottom of, and Felicity’s sleuthing abilities are impressive for a woman bound by genuine morality and the restrictions of the period. A satisfying, if rather tragic, ending wrapped this story up nicely, and I have already purchased the next in series.

    While I had a little taste of the storytelling skills of Rosie Hunt with a short prequel to the series and I was intrigued by it, I have been pleasantly surprised by the level of details and historical accuracy, the vivid descriptions and great characters in this first book.
    Definitely a joy to read!

    I loved this book and couldn't put it down the story was so gripping. I also love the fact that you learn so much about that period. What a struggle it was for woman trying to persue careers that were thought of as a man's job. The main character Felicity is a very strong character trying to prove that she can be a good journalist who ends up helping to solve a murder.

    Especially a period one. The characters are really well drawn and you can immediately picture them. They also come across as interesting people you would like to get to know better. I'm looking forward to reading more about Lady Felicity and Alex in future stories. I'm off to look up the fashions of the time so I know what all the different hats Lady Felicity wears are!

    This author will bring a smile and joy to the genre. I wish I knew why every writer has the heroine with a Title but not to worry. The plot made sense when revealed and all the incidents made sense. Knowing the baddie was sufficiently hidden for most of the story. Well done Rosie
