With all the turmoil of the world right now, I craved something from a time not without strife, but a bit simpler in some ways. A world in recovery from a war that would first be called the Great War, and then, the World War, and sadly, a the first World War. We stand on the brink of yet another one, and it scares me, even more than the pandemic we also are in, though many seem to have forgotten. But I digress.
Laura Stevenson has given me a book that affords an escape from our current horrors, a cozy type mystery/coming of age, that also recalled all the years I worked with horses in my youth. Thank you for the escape and the reminder that the world can be many things, but most of all, what we make of it.… (altro)

This Early Review Book consisted of an interesting mystery combined with horse lore and many comments on the changing social situation right after WWI when the large titled land owners found themselves under pressure to reduce their holdings. This in turn eliminated the duties of their servants as well as changed the position of women in society so they had more opportunities for advancement and power. A good read.

One of my favorite types of books to read are English mysteries. I was happy to discover All Men Glad and Wise. Set in rural England after WWI, the characters are well developed and the plot interesting. As with most villages, this one is full of secrets that lead to murder. I felt like this could be the first book in a series and I would look forward to reading others. I really enjoyed this one.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would! It is a rich and very detailed historical mystery set in a socially interesting period of English history. Extremely well researched, with lots of details about horses and the social setting. I look forward to reading more by this author.
