Weeping on Wednesday (Lois Meade Mystery)

"Weeping on Wednesday" is a lovely, cozy book that takes place in England. It portrays a dainty and quaint life in a charming English village, with a rural touch. You can almost see an English garden and smell freesias. Lois Meade, the main character, is the supervisor of a cleaning service that she started. One of her recently-hired cleaners is a bit mysterious if not eccentric. There is a mystery surrounding this woman's family. We don't know if the woman is involved in something shady or if she is just an innocent bystander. But by the end of book, all questions and curiosities are answered. This English series is one of my favorite cozy series. It is interesting to "visit" England, have teas, go to pubs, sit in an English garden. Some of the words they use are different than the words we use. But not so many that you can't understand what they are saying - only enough to make it more interesting.

The Lois Meade mystery series is extremely enjoyable! Each new book is better than the last. Weeping on Wednesday was a little darker than the first two, but the story line has evolved into more complex characters and events. I don't think anyone who picks up these books will be disappointed.

Spunky, no nonsense Lois Meade delights as before. Lois's interest in and care over her "cleaners" is heartwarming. A must read to all who have come to love Lois's family and friends.

A new series for me and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Well written, with characters strong and believable. Ms. Purser tells a story, gets you interested in the people, places and events and then wraps it all up very satisfactorily, never leaving you hanging about unsolved events. Have the next installment on order!

If looking for a fun series about people that you will get to know and care about, this is the book. Lois is tough, funny, and extremely loyal. The story line in all the Lois Meade books is entertaining and will keep you wondering what will happen next, but Weeping on Wednesday was the best. Can't wait for the Thursday book.
