Just kind of crossed my mind...I'd be interested. Or point me in the direction to find them. Thanks.

I really enjoyed the below book and we discussed here at one time. I believe it is a true story.

Thank you, I'll write it down!

I'm not sure if you like mystery but if you do there are two authors I have read and are good. Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series, a female investigator in England around the early 1930s. But, closer to the Downton Abby time frame is a series of books by Charles Todd. The main character is Ian Ruthledge who is an inspector for Scotland Yard during the 1918 time frame.

Looks like some good reads to add to my summer reading list. Thanks for sharing!

That is a wonderful series. So lucky to stumble on it at the library.

I recently read a trilogy of books by T.J. Brown. The first one is Summerset Abbey and I thoroughly enjoyed them all.
