Another of my favorite cozy historical mystery series circa 1934 set in Dartmouth.
This 8th installment features Kitty Underhay and her fiance, Captain Matthew Bryant, unraveling the clues after the discovery of a murdered man in the first class compartment of a train from London. In addition, Kitty is waiting for word about a potential meeting with Ezekiel Hammet after he is finally captured and taken to prison.
Though the dead man in the first class carriage was found upon the train's arrival at the station, there are only 7 other passengers who could have been responsible. Kitty and Matt have an interesting investigation trying to figure out who did it and why.
I enjoy the interaction between Kitty and Matt and now they are saddled with the victim's dog that adds new consternation in their busy lives. I love the period details and look forward to seeing how Kitty changes as she will soon marry. As with any long-running series, I feel this doesn't work as a standalone as there is so much backstory to this pair with their previous adventures.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. I look forward to the next installment.
This is part of a series that should be read from the beginning, in order.
Genre - historical mystery fiction
