Murder in Paris (Kitty Underhay #21) by Helena Dixon

 

The 21st installment in this cozy historical mystery series is a delight.

At the behest of her grandmother, Kitty and Matt are taking her to Paris for a visit with an old friend, Eliza DeTourner. A bit of sightseeing and some marvelous food are on the program, and to top it off, they've all been invited to a private fashion show at the House of Dido. It seems that Eliza's handsome son, Julian, is in love with one of the models, Simone, and he's eager for them all to meet his beloved. All is going perfectly until Simone is found dead in the dressing room immediately after the show. How can it be that everywhere Matt and Kitty go, a dead body turns up?  Of course they involve themselves in the murder investigation with plenty of suspects to question and even more secrets to unravel.

I really enjoy this series and reading another one is like taking a nice little break from current times. The characters are very well-developed and readers have been there for all the changes in them and in their personal lives through the previous mysteries. If you love the description and details about life in England and on the continent in the 1930s, you will really want to check out this series. I think it best to start from the beginning so that you can get the completely backstory to appreciate where the characters are at now in their relationships. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book to read, review, and recommend.
