All Men Glad and Wise (2022)
Laura C Stevenson
"Set on a classic British estate just after World War I, brimming with local characters and high-bred horses, All Men Glad and Wise will have you turning pages until midnight and rooting for Harry Green, the precocious young groom investigating a murder. Yet author Laura Stevenson has created far more than a wonderfully old-fashioned whodunnit-think Agatha Christie meets Remains of the Day; skillfully weaving the social tumult and psychological damage of "the war to end all wars," exposing a corrupt regime's insidious classism and sexism, Stevenson illuminates an England in ragged transition. Stevenson's crisp, spare prose is effortless to read-like 4 o'clock tea, but steeped with pathos and humanity. I sincerely hope we'll be reading more of Harry Green's adventures."
