A Place in the Country by Elizabeth AdlerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Caroline Evans, along with her very unhappy fifteen year old daughter, Issy, have high-tailed it out of a very comfortable life in Singapore. Her once happy marriage had turned into shambles when she found her husband, James, cheating with another woman. Without a pre-nup and any money except for the little bit that James inconsistently sends for Issy, things are going downhill fast. Tired of their tiny rented London flat, Caroline and Issy head for the Cotswolds for the weekend, and stumble upon an old country barn along a lazy river for sale.
Rather predictable, cheating husband, grouchy teen, and men who swoop in to help, especially financially, A Place in the Country is still a fun read. Throw in a murder and you have the mystery....
