4.0

Book 19 in the Kitty Underhay series and it feels as fresh and fun a read as the earlier instalments in the series. This time around Kitty and Matt are quietly investigating the potential attempted murder of Lady Cordelia Hedges who was previously attacked along with her father and left with amnesia whilst her father was killed.

Secrets, red herrings and murderous events abound as Kitty and Matt do what they do best and drive down their leads to come to a satisfying and surprising conclusion. Matt's side quest into solving the mystery of Redvers reappearance is also an interesting diversion and I'm looking forward to that reaching its conclusion in the next book or two

What makes this series such a comfort read for me is that I love the core cast of characters and there's usually one or two new additions who leave an impression, this time young Archie is the hero of the day and a character I hope makes a return somehow in the future. The stories and cases are always intriguing and fun and the familiarity of it all makes it a truly cosy and satisfying read for me.

As always a winner and I'm looking forward to Book 20!
