Murder at the Met by E.W. Cooper
4.0
I got Murder at the Met By E.W. Cooper from Booksiens for a fair and honest review.
Murder at the Met is the second book in the Penelope Harris Mysteris. Once again we are in the world of late 1920’s New York.
When a night at the opera ends in a father being dead at the bottom of the stairs and a one of his three daughters dying of arsenic poisoning.
Penelope gets involved in the investigation, while at the same time Lund is looking into a suicide from a year ago.
This is the second book of the Penelope Harries mysteries and the book is so much better for this, because as a reader you have already been immersed in this world. Which makes the part before the murder is a better read in the first book
As well as improving the first part of the book, this follow up allows the reader to really start to know the characters that will be regulars in the series.
This is particularly true of Lund, while he was a major person in the first book, you start to learn a bit more about him and his motives, which makes him a more well rounded person, this is true even of Penelope, the main character of the book.
The crimes this time were a bit more throughout than ast time, which meant that it was a little more complicated than the first with a number of different suspects and even 3 murders in the story has me as a reader at least trying to work out if there was connection between them.
All of this makes E. W. Cooper's Murder at the Met a must read , either as part of the series or a one of novel.
