Death at Gallows Green

by Robin Paige

Kate Ardleigh is back, and she’s investigating the death of a local constable in this outing. When the body of Sergeant Arthur Oliver is found in Mr. McGregor’s garden, readers may expect two things:

1. Kate and Sir Charles Sheridan will be on the case, and
2. Beatrix Potter will figure into the story in some way.

Indeed, Kate meets Miss Potter and observes her sketching some critters. Bea joins Kate in her sleuthing and demonstrates her affinity for children.

I didn’t think this entry in the series was nearly as good as the first one. Still, it is a nice, gentle, cozy mystery .
