Mrs. Emily Hardcastle is a quirky widow with a secret past. Her maid and confidante Florence Armstrong is a martial arts expert. The year was 1908, when they had just moved to the country from London, hoping to live a quiet life.
But soon after, Mrs. Hardcastle was forced to withdraw from her retirement. There was a body in the woods and the police scented wrongly. Mrs. Hardcastle herself asked some of her own inquiries and it seemed she knew the surprising number of crime investigations…
As Mrs. Hardcastle and Mrs. Flor explore more deeply the competition and resentment in the countryside, they discover a network of conspiracies that goes far beyond the village. Few people escape from doubt, they can only be sure of one fact: there is no quiet life in the country.
Revised version: The quiet life version of the country includes edited revisions.
