The Countess of Harleigh Must Solve the Murder of the Season

It is 1899, and the Countess of Harleigh, born as Frances Wynn in America, has just completed her year of mourning after the death of her husband. Reggie’s death was no great loss since he spent more time with other men’s wives then he did with Frances. In fact, it was only through Frances’s quick thinking that his death didn’t cause a scandal. Fortunately, Frances has enough money of her own that she can move out of her in-law’s home and set herself and her daughter up in a small place in London with a minimal staff. Unfortunately, trouble follows Frances to her new life when a detective shows up asking about the night Reggie died. Why is this coming up a year after his death?

Frances can’t spend too much time dwelling on this, however, since her sister, Lily, is coming to London for her first season with Frances as her chaperone. Between the balls and other social functions, Frances hears of a string of robberies happening in the London upper class. What will happen when those thefts begin to hit close to home?

I’d heard lots of good things about this book, so I was looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately, I had some serious issues with the plot. I can’t get into any more without giving away plot spoilers, so I’ll just say I found several things under done. I’m sure some of it is my expectations when it comes to a mystery plot, but I still think there were some flaws. However, I really enjoyed the cast of characters. They are all lots of fun, and I enjoyed spending time with them. The setting is great as well. Who doesn’t dream of living the life of the English upper crust? I enjoyed this enough to consider reading the sequel when it comes out despite my issues with the plot.

If you really look at mother!, directed by darren aronofsky. The movie story is about mother earth, god himself, adam and eve, the creation of life, the death of a child and destorying life and starting over/heaven.

The charcters - javier's charcter is called him aka god, the creator. Jennifer's called is called mother aka mother earth. Michelle's charcter is called her aka eve. Ed's charcter is called man aka adam.

When man and mother create a child, man and her throw a clebreation of life coming on earth. Mother is very protective of that child, she is also very protective of their home. When the child is getting eatting alive, mother is broken her only child died, so she goes on a rampage, destory their home, destorying life and than at the end, the movie starts at the beginning. It could be the beginning of life, it could be heaven?

You might have to watch mother! muitputle times to understand fully what the movie is about. At first you might think its confusing, you still might think its confusing after the threed or fifth time. But the story is very hidden.

Overall mother! is a okay movie.
