Murder at Westminster: A 1920s Historical Cozy… von Magda Alexander

*3.75 stars*

This was fun to read! Although the second in a series, Murder at Westminster reads well as a standalone. We have the delightful Kitty trying to solve a murder that implicates her sister's beau and all the hijinks that ensue. It is fast paced while still being cozy, and I enjoyed reading about the different personalities and all their quirks.

I look forward to the next book in the series. And the romance :)

Thanks to the Publishers and NetGalley for the ARC.

Murder at the Masked Ball: A 1920s Historical Cozy… von Magda Alexander

witty, verbal-humor, cosy-mystery, costume-party, London, murder, murder-investigation, class-consciousness, family-dynamics, friendship, 1920s, abusive-spouse, women-s-rights, women's suffrage, women-sleuths, historical-fiction, pet, dog, law-enforcement, romantic*****

OK, so I loved book one but missed book two. This one is much fun with both romance and a solid investigation of the time while reminding us of the groundwork laid by the alert and involved women of that era. All of the characters are interesting and well drawn while the settings and attire are clearly and imaginatively portrayed. But it's the whodunit that really demanded my attention. The abusive spouse of a friend is dead at the foot of the stairs during a masked ball. Did he fall or was he pushed?
Let Kitty's sleuthing begin! Great light read!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Hearts Afire Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!… (mehr)

Murder at Westminster: A 1920s Historical Cozy… von Magda Alexander

It's 1923, and Kitty Worthington and her sister, Margaret, are taking part in a march for women's right to vote and Margaret's beau Sebastian is helping. The march is interrupted by a gang of thugs and it is learned that they were paid by a high-ranking member of the nobility opposed to its purpose. When the man is found murdered, all evidence point to Sebastian and he is arrested and charged with the murder, Margaret begs Kitty to investigate to prove his innocence to save Sebastian's life and Margaret's happiness. Kitty gathers together a group of friends and together they will solve the case no matter what it takes.

Murder at Westminster: A 1920s Historical Cozy Mystery by Magda Alexander is the second in a series it works quite well as a stand-alone. It is an entertaining read, perfect for a quiet afternoon. The characters are likeable and the story kept my interesting. Overall, an enjoyable read and one I'd recommend to anyone who is a fan of historical mysteries or cozies.

Thanks to Netgalley and Hearts Afire Publishing for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review… (mehr)
