Book Review: The Mitford murders - J. Fellowes

The plot of this novel really intrigued me: 20s in England, an upstairs-downstairs kind of setting, the Mitford sisters who achieved notoriety for their controversial lives and their public political divisions between communism and fascism. 
The "crime" part of the novel is ok, but quite guessable from the beginning. What I liked most of the novel is the peek into the lives of the "poor and the rich" of that historical period.
Overall a very pleasant read and I will read the following books in the serie as the Nancy sisters fascinated me.

Overall rating: 7      Plot: 7     Writing style: 7      Cover:  9

It's 1919, and Louisa Cannon dreams of escaping her life of poverty in London, and most of all her oppressive and dangerous uncle.
