Über diesen Titel

Cottages, English roses and rolling hills: that's Earlsraven. When Nathalie unexpectedly inherits her aunt's cosy inn "Black Feather", she also falls heir to her secret double life and discovers that sleuthing runs in the family.

This compilation contains episodes 1-3:

THE ART OF LYING

There are only two possibilities: either dear old Miss Beresford from Earlsraven is suffering from dementia or there's something fishy going on at her house! But when she discovers a dead body in her garden, Nathalie and her cook Louise start to investigate.

THE FINAL WORDS OF IAN O'SHELLEY

When the famous writer Ian O'Shelley is found dead in his cottage, Nathalie starts to look into the case. She discovers that the writer was a man with many secrets. But while Nathalie is investigating O'Shelley's past, her personal life is falling apart - all because of her move to Earlsraven.

BLUE POODLE BLUES

Scandal at the dog show! Sir Theodore's three King Poodles have been dyed blue! Sir Theodore loudly accuses the organiser, Mason Mayfield - and when he is found murdered, Sir Theodore is the prime suspect. Nathalie is convinced of his innocence and sets out to find the real killer.

The English countryside charm is certainly there – rolling hills, cottages, roses, and an inherited inn with hidden secrets. But while the premise had promise, the execution left me a bit underwhelmed.

The main character, Nathalie, is unfortunately rather dull and self-righteous. Her way of handling personal relationships often comes off as selfish, which made it hard for me to connect with her.

Her sidekick, Louise the cook, is teased as having some kind of mysterious past (perhaps military or intelligence-related?), but this potential remains completely undeveloped. Instead, she feels more like a matronly background figure than a real partner in crime-solving.

The mysteries themselves are mildly engaging, but the pacing is slow and lacks real tension. If you're looking for cosy crime with strong character work and clever twists, this may not fully deliver.

That said, fans of light, quiet mystery with a quintessentially English backdrop might still enjoy Earlsraven for the atmosphere alone.

Charming setting, but the characters fall flat
