Just finished Book 1. Wasn't sure what to expect as I saw it advertised in a police magazine. However, it proved to be a very interesting read with a great deal of history thrown in. Reminded me abit of Downton Abbey with its richness of characters coupled with a history of the early twentieth century. The 'merdogs' provide a glimpse into how the many dogs view life on the Estate and have their own adventures which will appeal to dog lovers. The knowledge of how a large estate is run is very interesting and detailed. Hoping Book 2 will continue to provide a deeper insight into the many characters as WW2 approaches. It would make a nice period drama actually! If you like James Herriott/Downton Abbey/history then this book is for you.
