Amateur sleuth Kitty Worthington once more jumps into the fray to nab the wily murderer of a high-ranking member of the nobility. Can she catch the killer before her sister's beloved pays the ultimate price? London. 1923. Much to her consternation, Kitty Worthington's debut season is a resounding success, prompting marriage proposals from lords, rogues, scoundrels, and ne'er do wells. Even as she dodges them, a new intrigue arises, and at Westminster, no less. A high-ranking member of the nobility is murdered, and her sister's beau has been framed to take the fall. With her sister's happiness at stake, Kitty sets out to investigate, ably aided by her faithful maid, two noble lords, a titled lady, and Sir Winston, her still flatulent Basset Hound. As they dash about London, from the stews of St. Giles, to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair, in search of the wily killer, can she convince the maddening Inspector Crawford to aid their quest? For if she fails to find the killer, her sister's beloved may very well hang from the wrong end of a rope. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

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.
