The Midnight Hour
by Elly Griffiths
I loved the "I'll only talk to a woman" attitude that Verity Billington takes after husband Bert is murdered. It makes the hiring of an all-women detective firm (and an odd couple firm at that) organically part of the plot rather than figuring out some way to shoehorn it into the story. There's also the tie between Emma Holmes (yes, that last name) and the police department even beyond Emma's police captain husband. And the rummaging around into the history of English music hall shows, the trips to visit older/retired stars, etc.? Fun.
The cozy procedural genre is definitely a genre worth exploring and purchasing for my collection. It's perfect for readers ready for something less twee than real cozies.
