Although I am not a fan of fiction or murder mysteries, I was interested in reading "A Weekend at Blenheim," because I had visited the palace in Woodstock, England, and wanted to read more about it. In that respect, this book was wonderful, since it gave very detailed descriptions of the gorgeous building, inside and out. It was easy to imagine oneself in Blenheim during the time that the dazzling Duchess Consuelo lived there. The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is that the storyline was a bit convoluted, not really explaining what was happening until the very end, but I guess that's what murder mysteries are supposed to do, keep you guessing; so if you like that, then you'll enjoy this book.
