1922 Violet Carlyle with her twin Victor plus cousins are invited to spend time with their aunt Agatha Davies (or is it Great Aunt?). A wealthy aunt who someone has been trying to kill for their inheritance.
A lightweight cozy mystery, with hardly any investigation, an overuse of 'luvs' and not especially likeable main characters. ( )

Violet Carlyle and her twin brother Victor are summoned to spend the Christmas holidays with Aunt Agatha, along with various cousins. This is no hardship for the twins, as Aunt Agatha more or less raised them after the death of their mother, and they love to spend time with her. But Aunt Agatha is concerned that one of her relatives is trying to kill her to get hold of her massive fortune, and she hopes that Jack Wakefield, the son of one of her close friends and a Chief Inspector at Scotland Yard, can identify the culprit before he or she succeeds…. This is the first of something like 30 books in the Violet Carlyle cozy series, set in 1920s England and featuring a slew of Bright Young Things. It’s very sloppy in terms of language - among other sins, Violet and Vic call everybody “luv,” something the children of an earl would never do, and there are definite Americanisms that are completely out of place (no Brit of any class would call money “the green” but these characters do constantly). That said, the main characters are entertaining and fairly witty, the dilemmas of life are well-drawn, and I kept reading because I wanted to find out what happened next, surely the most important job a writer has! It also has the advantage of scratching my current cozy-set-in-the-1920s itch and being very inexpensive in e-book form, so I will continue with the series for now, at least; a mild recommendation.
