Mrs. Mortimer Mysteries #8
Death in the City: A 1920s Murder Mystery
Just the job – ringing in the New Year with a dead man.
Pimlico, January, 1929.
Georgiana Mortimer has been asked to assist at the offices of Domestic Bliss, only to find that it isn’t her thoughts on curtains, glassware and the perfect canapé that the magazine owner, Mrs Blunkett, is keen to learn.
Is there a dead man, or isn’t there?
The magazine’s co-editor, Dame Judith, finds herself at the centre of an indecorous story that doesn’t make sense, and it’s up to Mrs Mortimer to rewrite it, while the staff jostle for position, and the fate of the next edition hangs in the balance.
Georgiana Mortimer writes the copy and reviews the cutlery in Book 8 of the Mrs Mortimer Mystery series – with the aid of her eccentric family, curious friends and Crumpet, her boundless terrier. Set in the Pimlico, Chelsea, Mayfair – and the East End, ’Death in the City’ is a sophisticated, metropolitan mystery.
Escape to the 1920s in this elegant page turner, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey.

I think the series is missing some romance. The story was kind of dull. I hope the author adds a male counterpoint for Mrs. Mortimer.

Mrs Mortimer is back, this time in London with another murder … or is it? Did not see it coming in this original cozy mystery set between the wars.
