This was fine. Read this back to back with the second book in this series and whilst i enjoyed it the actual mystery was a bit paint by numbers. However the Mortimers are still great characters if ever so slightly reminscent of lord peter wimsey and tommy and tuppence. Will continue with this series but might leave it a bit before i tackle the fourth book.

When Lizzie Spence runs away to London to seek fame and fortune, her mother Gladys is not convinced all is well in her daughters quest for stardom. Worried for her daughter she seeks the help of Harry and Kat Mortimer, whose investigation leads them to London.
I absolutely adore the Mydworth Mystery novels. Historical fiction is not my thing by any means but something about these books holds my attention and gets me invested. I love the modern style of Kat and Harry’s relationship and I enjoy the variation of storylines so far in the series. As the books are quite short I read London Calling in one sitting but despite being quite short, the series doesn’t pack a punch with “on the edge of your seat” plots and twists. I can’t recommend the series enough, and look how pretty the covers are!
