The series is certainly worth a watch. According to my wife, the episodes very close in tone and story to the books.
I thought they could have made a little more of Precious' skills in observation and sleuthing. After an opening event where she showed some wisdom in solving a theft, and then used good observation and intuition to tell her driver much about himself, the rest of the story sort of devolved into coincidence to help her solve the remaining cases.
The mysteries are quite interesting though, even the mystery of a little lost dog. Much more engrossing and meaningful is that of a missing young man, and that of a feuding family that may do each other in unless Precious can work her magic at their estate.
You'll find the characters to be indeed charming, and the setting is very far from the norm, giving this show a unique flavor you won't find elsewhere.
