Helpful Score: 5

There is a fine line between light, amusing cozy mysteries and formula, trite mysteries. This fell over on the formula side. Standard, stock characters: the old slightly confused gardener, the round, comfortable cook who mothers the rebellious parlor maids, the spoiled aristocratic daughters, the handsome, stand-offish yet mysterieously attractive property owner....and a troubled and troubling ghost-all come together to wander confusedly through what passes for an amateur murder investigation with a very flat denouement.
