A Death in Venice by Verity Bright (A Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery #17)

Stunning views across the Grand Canal and a hotel suite fit for royalty… Lady Eleanor Swift is having a jolly good time on her Italian vacation, until a gondola ride is cut murderously short!

1924: Lady Eleanor Swift has been on a grand tour around Italy for a month with her butler Clifford. Finally arriving in Venice, she’s thrilled to be attending the famous carnival: all that’s needed is the perfect bejewelled costume for her faithful bulldog, Gladstone. But on her first gondola ride to take in the sights, a passenger collapses into the canal with a knife sticking out of his back.
Eleanor saw an argument break out between the gondolier and the victim, Councillor Benetto Vendelini, and it turns out they’re rivals from the city’s two great families. Vendelini’s murder is sure to reignite their centuries-long feud. While attending a glitzy ball that night, Eleanor learns of a plot to steal a precious family heirloom from the Vendelini household. Is the stolen item the key to solving this baffling murder?
In this floating city of tiny winding alleyways, Eleanor traces the missing heirloom to an antiques dealer in a far-flung corner of town. But when her handbag is snatched by a cloaked thief, she realises the murderer is dangerously close. Can Eleanor unmask this most cunning of killers, before she joins the other victim at the bottom of the Grand Canal?
An utterly gripping historical murder mystery set in Italy, full of intrigue and charming characters. Fans of T.E. Kinsey, Agatha Christie and Catherine Coles will be totally hooked by A Death in Venice!

My Review:
This novel is an entertaining addition to this lovely series, a solid mystery and a love letter to Venice. I loved to see Venice through the eyes of someone in another time and with a different background.
I visited Venice with locals and I still cherish the memories of the less known corners and the atmosphere.
The band of Eleanor and her friend, Gladstone and Clifford plus the ladies, are in Venice during the Carnevale in 1924. There will be murders even if Eleanor is loving the city and what she sees and would prefer enjoy the city and Carnevale.
There’s plenty of twists, feuds that go back in the century and a lot of surprising twists. The book kept me reading and I enjoyed the solution.
The characters are well developed as usual and the solid and tightly knitted plot kept me reading till late in the night.
I cannot wait to read the next one, highly recommended

Westleham Village 1948

As Valentine’s Day rolls around, Martha Miller finds herself unusually melancholy at the state of her own love life. With husband Stan still missing and with her growing feelings for Vicar Luke still shrouded in secrecy, there’s only one place Martha can go – famous local beauty spot, Lovers’ Leap.
Legend has it that those with a broken heart throw themselves off the bridge that spans the river, but Martha is certainly not about to do such a thing! But it looks like someone else has had other ideas….
Because there in the river, Martha finds a body. But is this misadventure, a moment of lovesick madness, or is foul play afoot?
Martha knows one thing…the villagers of Westleham have another crime to solve!
Let the investigation commence!

Purchase Link: https://mybook.to/loversleapsocial

My Review:
This is an excellent historical cozy series: well research and featuring an unusual couple of amateurish detectives.
Martha is a woman who doesn’t know if her husband is dead or alive as he disappeared, Luke is the vicar. There’s a lot of development in the relationship between them and I hope that the mystery of Martha’s husband will be solved.
There’s a lot of research in this book and it shows in how a respectable woman should behave, in the plot of this mystery and the general atmosphere. There’s not a lot of mysteries set just after WWII and this is one of the best.
This mystery could have been written in the 40s as the atmosphere, the characters and even the number of pages pay homage to the mysteries of those ages even if those were darker.
The mystery is solid, full of surprising twists and I thoroughly enjoyed even if I guessed the culprit.
There’s a lot of character development and I hope there will be more developments in Martha’s story.
I enjoyed it and it’s strongly recommended.

The Silent House of Sleep by Allan Gaw

‘No one likes death. It just happens to be our business.’

Nobody who meets Dr Jack Cuthbert forgets him. Tall, urbane, brilliant but damaged, this Scottish pathologist who works with Scotland Yard is the best the new DCI has seen. But Cuthbert is a man who lives with secrets, and he still battles demons brought back from the trenches.
When not one but two corpses are discovered in a London park in 1929, Cuthbert must use every tool at his disposal to solve the mystery of their deaths. In the end, the horrifying truth is more shocking than even he could have imagined.
As he works the case, Cuthbert realises that history rarely stays in the past. And even in the final moments, there is still one last revelation that leaves him reeling.

My Review:
I can write a review talking about how the book kept me hooked and I enjoyed it. It’s how I feel and I’m expressing it.
Then I can check on an online bookstore if there’s will be a second instalment soon or the other books by the author. In this case most of them were technical and I’m not in the medical field.
All these blah blahs to express how much I loved this mystery, slow burning and gripping.
There’s a sense of doom, there’s a complex and damaged Mc, Jack Cuthbert, and a vivid and well researched of the life of lgbt people and the medical procedures.
I was fascinated by the medical part as I like mysteries that features scientific researched and love Cuthbert who must fight his own instincts and the traumas of the war.
There’s a very unusual and gory murder, not your cup of tea if you prefer you murder more vanilla, but it’s a puzzle and core of a tightly knitted, twisty and solid mystery.
The author did a good job in developing the characters and the solid mystery
It’s one of those books that kept me reading well past my sleep hour and I thoroughly enjoyed, one of those one-more-chapter story.
I hope to read another novel featuring Cuthbert soon.
Highly recommended.

Skelton’s Guide to Suitcase Murders by David Stafford (Skelton’s Guides #2)

My Review (5*):
This series is becoming a favorite as I love the humor and the quirky characters.
This is the second novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it as it’s engrossing and highly entertaining.
It’s not a classic whodunit as it mixes the personal story of the characters with the plot and the mystery is part of a more complex story with a number of subplots.
The author does an excellent job in delivering a story that flows and never confuses the reader, it always keeps your attention alive and all the different subplots are very enjoyable.
The historical background is well researched and vivid. Even if David is high-middle class we meet people from all the social classes and there’s plenty of description of how terrible was the life of the poor.
I love David but I also love Alan, the travelling preacher cousin who wants to help people to meet Jesus through joy. The letters that Alan write are always interesting and funny.
The mystery is solid and the solution came as a surprise.
I strongly recommend this novel as it’s well written and entertaining.

The Moonlit Murders by Fliss Chester (A Fen Churche Mystery #3)

My Review (5*)
Another entertaining and well written addition to this historical mystery series.
It’s a good mystery that kept me hooked and entertained till the last page.
The historical background is well researched and vivid. The mix of historical fact and fiction works and I learned something new. I like how the author describes how WWII wounded people and how they dealt with it.
Fen is a character that grew on me and I love how clever she is.
The character development is excellent and I liked how the relationship between the cast of characters is evolving.
The mystery is complex and solid, full of twists and turns, and some unexpected surprises. It kept me guessing and entertained.
I can’t wait to read the next installment, this one is highly recommended.

Book Description:

When a journey to New York is interrupted by missing diamonds and a body in the lifeboat, there is only one woman who can help: Fen Churche!

1945. Fen Churche follows her dreams and sails for New York. She books passage on a steam ship from France to America, excited to dance the night away in the glamorous ballroom and play games on deck. Nothing will stand in the way of her trip, not even when an eccentric heiress’s diamond tiara goes missing…
Looking forward to relaxing with her favourite crossword puzzles, Fen’s quiet passage is horribly disrupted by another crime – this time a murder. Fen finds Genie, a young actress bound for Broadway, strangled in her own cabin. With no police on board and a frantic captain, Fen decides to do a little snooping of her own.
When another body turns up, hidden in a lifeboat, whilst the ship is in the middle of the Atlantic, Fen feels sure these dreadful crimes are linked. Through her sleuthing she meets light-hearted lieutenants returning from the war, charming cabin boys and snooty first-class passengers who look down their nose at her. But it isn’t until Fen realises that one person is missing from the passenger list that she is finally on the murderer’s trail.
With only rolling waves and sea mists for company, can Fen solve the case before they dock in New York and the killer escapes for good?

The Consequences of Fear by Jacqueline Winspear (Maisie Dobbs #16)

My Review (5*)
I fell in love with this series when I read “The American Agent” and I started to read the series from the beginning.
As for the other book in this series this is an excellent story, well plotted, engrossing and highly entertaining.
It’s also poignant with some heart breaking parts even if there’s hope and joy at the end of the path.
The author does an excellent job in describing a complex and tragical historical periodo mixing history and fiction and making the background vivid and interesting.
Fear is the central theme: Maisie reflect on her fears regarding her love life and well being of the people she loves. There’s fear at the center of the actions of the agents sent to France and there’s fear in everyday life in London during the blitz.
There are various subplots: the mystery, the story of young Freddie’s family and the work Maisie is doing for the government.
The subplots are all related and I kept turning pages as I wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters and how the mystery was going to be solved.
Jacqueline Winspear is a master storyteller and she delivers a plot that never bores or drags. The character development is excellent and the historical background is well researched.
I loved this story and can’t wait to read the next instalment, this one is highly recommended.

Mystery by the Sea by Verity Bright (A Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery #5)

My Review (5*)
This is a delightful and highly entertaining book but it’s also the more complex in this series.
I love how the author wrote a more mature Eleanor. She’s always carefree and unorthodox in her relationship with the personnel but we also get to know her better and to learn something about her past.
This is a story about a holiday at the seaside but it’s also a complex mystery, full of red herrings and twists, that kept me guessing and the solution surprised me.
The author did an excellent job in using some of the Golden Age tropes like an environment with a restricted number of suspects but they were also able to balance the ligh humour with the more poignant aspects.
Clifford and Gladstone are great characters as usual but I think that all the characters are well written and most of them likable.
The mystery is solid and the investigation was an excellent puzzle that had to identify not only the culprit but also what was behind stories from Eleanor’s past.
I had a lot of fun and I think this is the best story in the series so far. A bit darker than the previous books but as enjoyable and fun as the others.
I can’t wait to read the next installment, this one Is highly recommended.

Book Description:
Spring, 1921. Lady Eleanor Swift, explorer extraordinaire and accidental sleuth, hasn’t had a vacation since she arrived in England a year ago. Being an amateur detective can be a rather tiring business and she is determined to escape any more murder and mysteries. So she books into the Grand Hotel in the fashionable resort of Brighton for some fresh air, fish and chips and, of course, a dip in the ocean.
Eleanor is enjoying her view of the waves and trying to find her bathing suit when calamity strikes: a guest has been found dead at her beautiful hotel. The distraught manager, who can’t afford a scandal, asks Eleanor to solve the case as swiftly as possible. Thank goodness she has her partner in crime – Gladstone the bulldog – to help her sniff out the dastardly culprit.
But when Eleanor enters the dead man’s room, she receives a shock big enough to make her forget even the finest ice cream sundae. The body is that of her husband, who supposedly died six years ago on the other side of the world. Has he been alive all these years? Why does he have a copy of their wedding photograph with a cryptic message written on the back? If Eleanor can keep herself safe long enough to find her husband’s killer, she might discover that everything is not quite as it seems beside the seaside…

Murder in the Belltower  by Helena Dixon (A Miss Underhay Mystery #5)

My Review (5*)
This is one of my favorite historical cozy series so it gets harder to write a meaningful review as I can only repeat what I already wrote.
It’s a highly entertaining and well written series and I read this instalment in an afternoon.
I’m a fan of Christmas mystery and this novel features all the tropes I love in this kind of novel.
This series improves with each instalment, this one was a slow burning mystery as the first part was introducing the setting and the new characters.
It’s a mix of spy story and mystery and I loved the plot full of twists and turns.
The characters are interesting and I was happy to catch up with Kittiy and Matt. The character development is excellent and they are all interesting.
Even if it can be read as a stand alone it’s better to read the book in order as there’s some backstory.
I strongly recommend it and can’t wait to read the next one.

Book Description:
Winter, 1933. Kitty Underhay is enjoying a restorative break from sleuthing on a visit to her family at Enderley Hall.

So, when the parish clerk is found dead on her front doorstep, Kitty leaps at the chance of distraction.
The police are happy to conclude that Miss Plenderleith met her unfortunate end on a patch of ice, but Kitty isn’t convinced this was a case of bad weather and worse luck. And when the Reverend Crabtree fails to show for tea the next day, she heads to the church to speak to him. But she arrives to find the clergyman hanging from the bell rope, dead.
With Matt seemingly wrapped up with his alluring Austrian, Kitty must solve the case on her own. But as she snoops into parish affairs, she makes some less-than-saintly discoveries. Just who has broken the sixth commandment? Meanwhile the killer is preparing a churchyard grave for Kitty, and she’ll have to use all her wits to avoid falling in…

Circles of Deceit by Paul CW Beatty (From the casebook of Josiah Ainscough 2)

My Review (5*):
I love historical mystery and when I saw this title on Rachel’s Random Resources blog tour list I was attracted by the blurb.
I am happy I joined this blogtour because I discovered a new interesting historical mystery series and a new to me author.
This is a gripping, informative and highly entertaining story that kept me hooked and made me travel in time.
I loved the vivid and well researched historical background. Even if I didn’t know a lot about that specific historical time I learned a lot and I want to learn more about it.
The descriptions are realistic and vivid, you cannot help feeling sad for how terrible the life of the poor was.
Josiah Ainscough is a likable, well written and interesting character. I liked him and I found the rest of the characters fleshed out and well written.
The mystery is solid and it kept me guessing till the end.
I want to read the other books in this series as I found this one fascinating.
Strongly recommended.

Book Description:
Murder, conspiracy, radicalism, poverty, riot, violence, capitalism, technology: everything is up for grabs in the early part of Victoria’s reign.
Radical politicians, constitutional activists and trade unionists are being professionally assassinated. When Josiah Ainscough of the Stockport Police thwarts an attempt on the life of the Chartist leader, Feargus O’Connor, he receives public praise, but earns the enmity of the assassin, who vows to kill him.
‘Circles of Deceit’, the second of Paul CW Beatty’s Constable Josiah Ainscough’s historical murder mysteries, gives a superb and electric picture of what it was to live in 1840s England. The novel is set in one of the most turbulent political periods in British history, 1842-1843, when liberties and constitutional change were at the top of the political agenda, pursued using methods fair or foul.

Two Murders Too Many by Bluette Matthey

My Review (5*): I loved this mystery and read it in one afternoon, it’s gripping and highly entertaining.
The descriptions of the small town and the quirky inhabitants reminded me of Fannie Flagg’s novel. They’re realistic and sweet at the same time.
It’s a novel about secrets and people. There’s a mystery but there’s also a realistic description of the life in a small town after WWII.
Charlie is a great character, clever and strong willed, he won’t start till he discover the truth.
He will discover that there’s a lot of secrets and not everything is as lovely as it seems.
The mystery is solid, full to twists and turns, and even if it wasn’t hard to discover the culprit, it kept me hooked till the end because there’s a lot more.
There’s some violent parts but on a general level it’s an excellent mix of cozy elements and traditional mystery.
I’d happy to read more stories featuring Charlie and Shannon people.
I loved this one and it’s strongly recommended.
