Murder at the Spring Ball is by Benedict Brown. The first in the historical fiction Lord Edgington mystery series. Lord Edgington, a former detective with Scotland Yard, decides to throw a party to celebrate his 75th birthday at his home, Cranley Hall. He invites all of his scheming relatives. When someone starts murdering them, he enlists the aid of his teenage grandson, Christopher, to help him solve the murders. A charming series set in 1920s England. The stories have a distinct Agatha Christie feel, but Christopher adds a dash of humor which is utterly charming.
Ratings: 9th grade - 9 out of 10.
