Murder at the Met by E.W. Cooper --> Starting April 3rd, 2021

[Aly]

November 1928, New York City. No one can keep a secret like high society – especially when that secret is murder.

There are two things Penelope Harris would rather do than get involved with another murder—sing opera and flirt with Thom Lund. When two tickets ensure Penelope and Thom get some precious time together at the Metropolitan opera, neither believes another murder will interrupt their romantic evening.

Fate has a different plan. Before the night is over a failed manufacturing tycoon is found dead at the bottom of a staircase, his poisoned and dying daughter nearby. Is it an accident? Suicide? Or murder? When a fellow soprano pleads for help, Penelope just can’t help her inquisitive nature.

As Penelope pulls back the cover on a diabolical crime, Lund rushes to complete the investigation of a suicide on the Gold Coast of Long Island. What they find will uncover the sordid underbelly of high society and put Penelope on the wrong side of her own gun.

lol I'd give a chapter number but I swear there have been at least 14 chapter 2's

(view spoiler)[ I'm loving this one again. who knew the opera could be so dangerous!?
so 2 bodies - one still alive and pregnant? I feel like we didn't know she was pregnant but maybe I forgot it from earlier when Penelope was first introduced?

anyway, and then the dad...hmmm.

and I love Thom and Penelope back together! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ interesting, I wonder how these two stories will collide

I guess Coralee was maybe singing with Patrice who is one of the girls maybe tied to (or IN) the Warwick family.

and....Tulip really died. that's so awful
who was the man she was meeting
and where did she get the dang chocolate

(and how did no one know she was pregnant?)
and what is Ivy's story? The girl is odd. says she hates her whole family but Tulip liked her enough to tell her who the guy was.....I wonder who killed the dad. (hide spoiler)]

I wonder what the audio book sounds like...

(view spoiler)[ interesting that Fred wasn't up front with the fact of who he was. rude
but to be carrying on with Clover - she's such an awful person (hide spoiler)]

I thought Patsy might have been with Coralee but I had no idea that Clover had....
