I'm glad you're going to give it a chance! It's really not military historical fiction at all--like, the backdrop is that these dudes are in the RAF, but that is absolutely not the focus of the book at all.

I think this is a hard problem with British mysteries, because they're just not revolutionary enough about the aristocracy for me.

I'm okay with this when it's golden age stuff--they're a product of their time--or I would be even with stuff written now that's sufficiently separate from real life. But this writer keeps bringing up class, making it relevant, and then not doing good things with it, which is so frustrating.

Oh, I hope you love JS&MN as much as I do! It's so wonderful!!!
