Elizabeth Edmondson’s Very English Mystery series is set in the years after World War II and draws on the traditions of classic English mystery fiction. The series begins with A Man of Some Repute, where a former intelligence officer recovers from injury at a castle that harbors its own secrets. Subsequent books continue to explore the tensions between old-world propriety and the realities of a changing Britain.
The four books in the series were published between 2015 and 2017. Edmondson’s attention to the social texture of 1950s England gives these mysteries a texture that goes beyond the puzzle at their center. Readers who enjoy authors like Jacqueline Winspear or Charles Todd will find familiar ground here.
