Lily Brewster and her brother Robert have all the appearances of being filthy rich, even though the family fortune went out the window with the crash of 1929. But thanks to great-uncle Horatio, who left them Grace and Favor Cottage, a huge mansion on the Hudson not far from Franklin Roosevelt's Hyde Park, the Brewsters live in the style to which... more » they had become accustomed--with a few troublesome limitations.
To make sure Lily and Robert didn't go back to being society bums, crafty old Horatio attached some strings to his bequest--and a penny-pinching attorney to manage the funds. Now the poor Brewsters have to actually work for money to survive, and Lily comes up with a brilliant scheme. They can turn a profit while they hobnob with their society friends, luring them to Grace and Favor for a paying weekend with the promise of big-name celebrities as guests.
A "Grace and Favor" cozy mystery. I found it just the thing when I wanted 'escape' reading.
2nd in series. I really enjoyed this book! The characters are so likable and I love the setting. This one had an excellent plot too!
Interesting cozy mystery set right after the depression. I don't tend to like historical mysteries but I liked this one. I think it will please those who like historical mysteries and also those who like mysteries in general.
a good cozy mystery. I liked the time period during the Prohibition era in New England.
Lovely period Thirties mystery starring a brother/sister team.

Another great story in this series. Wonderful characters and developing nicely. Look forward to more.
This series is lesser known, but I LOVE it...lots of great historical detail, but it never bogs down the storyline.
As always this was a great read. Love the Grace and Favor Mysteries. I like all of Jill Churchill's books.
