  面白かったが・・
  That was interesting, but...
  ロマンス成分はそれほど無かった。そのためか、比較的早めに二人の地固めがあり、読み手に甘味を与えておいてから、事件の発展的回収があった。ロマンス添え物感の抜けない作品。サスペンス劇場やTVの探偵物のように、まとめて終盤に事件の真相を一気に説明されても、ここはハーレクインですから、と言いたくはなる。(このまま幸せでいいのか)何だかこわいわ、という台詞が何かの予兆かと、別件の緊張が結局は人騒がせで、それだけ「料理番の娘」にはシンデレラストーリーだったことを、ただ伝えたかったのかと脱力。４星でいいんじゃないかな、との迷いも結構あるが、ヒロインの、謹み深いのに正義感や勇気を以て逞しい行動力を発揮するところ、馬車の場面との相互関連など考慮し、大負けに負けて付けて5星。働いて「自分で自分の生計を立てる』生活力を持つことに好意的解釈を物語上打ち出し、不労所得を持たずこれ迄はラッキーな生き方をしながら今後は享受出来ないであろう、クラリッサの苦難の前途を匂わせ、彼ベネディクトを調査のためと現場の村から遠ざけて、ヒロインに武器を持たせて活躍させるストーリーは、作り手の意志が透けてくる。ヒロインがただ守られてばかりではない人物像で好ましく感じた。当初叙述された時間に厳格なベネディクトの人物像は、いつの間にか使われなくなった。そんなところに、少々の締まりの無さを感じる。実行犯達を突き止めないでいいのか。被害者家族の処罰感情は？いくら夫人の望みは真相を知ることだから、などと言われても、簡単に人を殺めた者達を、捕まえてと、本当に思わないものなのか？野放しにしたまま、となるわけなのに？お話であっても、そこのところがなんだかスッキリしなかったが、そういう話に仕立てる作者の意図がそこにあるので、話をこれ以上広げて頁を食わせない、適当なところで引き取るために収拾させたのか？連続殺人があって、他に未遂事件もあって、それでも真相をそっとしておく・・。お話の上ではそれで良くても、登場人物は何人かが浮かばれないな、と考えてしまう。

  There wasn't much romance involved. Perhaps because of that, the two settled down relatively quickly, and after giving sweetness to the readers, there was an evolutionary recovery of the incident. It is a work with a sense of romance that is impeccable. Even if the truth of the incident is explained all at once at the end, like detective stories in suspense theaters and TV, it makes me want to say that this is Harlequin. (Is it okay to stay happy as it is) I wonder if the line “I'm kind of scared” was a sign of something, and the tension in another incident ended up making a lot of noise, and that's why I just wanted to tell “The Cooking Keeper Girl” that it was a Cinderella story. There are quite a few doubts that 4 stars would be enough, but the heroine, who demonstrates strong ability to act with a strong sense of justice and courage even though she is respectful, took into consideration the interrelationships with horse-drawn carriage scenes, etc., and lost to a big loss and gave it 5 stars. The story shows a favorable interpretation of having the ability to “earn one's own livelihood” by working, and makes Clarissa smell the future of suffering that she will not be able to enjoy in the future while living a lucky lifestyle without unearned income, keeps Benedict away from the village at the scene for investigation, and makes the heroine carry a weapon and play an active role, making the heroine carry a weapon and play an active role. I liked the heroine's image of someone who wasn't just being protected. Before I knew it, the figure of Benedict, who was strict about the time described, fell out of use. There is a slight lack of tightness in such places. is it okay not to identify the perpetrators? What is the victim's family's sense of punishment? No matter how much they say that the wife wants is to know the truth, etc., do they really not think they will catch those who easily killed people? that's why they're going to leave it unattended? Even though it was a story, that part wasn't clear, but since the author's intention to make it such a story is there, did they unfold the story any further and sort it out in order not to eat the pages, and pick it up in an appropriate place? There were serial murders, and there were other attempted cases, but I'll leave the truth alone... Even if that's fine in the story, it makes me think that some of the characters don't come to mind.

  好感が持てる主人公
  A likable protagonist
  ヒストリカルサスペンス！二巻に別れているのでじっくり楽しめます。貴族階級の娘だけど料理人のヒロインと大人な探偵ヒーロー。身分で人を判断しない聡明で素敵な人たち☆何度も読み返しています。強いて言うならもっとラブラブな所が見たかったです。

  Historical suspense! It's divided into 2 volumes, so you can enjoy it thoroughly. A heroine who is an aristocrat's daughter but also a cook, and an adult detective hero. Smart and wonderful people who don't judge people based on their status ☆ I've reread it over and over again. Strongly speaking, I wanted to see more lovey-dovey places.

  謎解き
  Mysteries solved
  ヒストリカルは大好きで面白かったのですが、作品を読んでいくとこれはアガサ・クリスティの「殺人は容易だ」をベースに書かれたような気がします。。設定が非常に似ているような・・・・。

  I love historical and it was interesting, but as I read the work, I feel like it was written based on Agatha Christie's “Murder Is Easy.” Seems like the settings are very similar...
