The Mitford Murders - Jessica Fellowes- 5 Stars-Terrific start to a series~

I really enjoyed this book, as well as the place and time, and am excited  that it will be a series. I kept peeking at the end of the book to make sure it ended well- which shows   the characters engaged me! 

Louisa Cannon, from a poor working class family in London, works with her widowed mother as a washerwoman and seamstress. Her father's brother often stays at their house and puts Louisa in harms way. 

Jennie, a friend from school who gives her a hint for a job in an upper class family the Mitfords. Her uncle tries to interfere with her interview by abducting her, and she jumps off the train onto the tracks.Guy Sullivan, a young railway  officer assists her to get to the interview.

At the very same time Louisa jumped from the train, a war nurse, Florence Nightingale Shore  is attacked and left for dead on another train. Guy Sullivan and his coworker Harry are assigned to  that case and this murder will consume them all.

Her new position is nursery maid for the Mitford family adds Nancy Mitford the oldest child to the group who become obsessed with Nurse Shore's murder. 

An exciting sequence of events follows with  an eventful conclusion. I cannot wait for the next in the series.
