Murder at the Met by E.W. Cooper

4.0

“The murder at met” by “E.W.Copper” is a murder mystery set in New York. I found the ARC free from BookSirens and writing an honest review voluntarily. It is the second book of the Penelope Harris Mystery series. I didn’t read the first one, but this read can read as a standalone.

Penelope returned to New York to restart her musical career. In search of students and making of network she met with many dramatic characters, I find reading that part quite interesting.

The story starts when she went to attend the Metropolitan Opera. She bumped into an old friend, Thom Lund. They both were enjoying the evening with each other company when their flirtatious evening was disturbed by the sudden death of another opera guest. Death or a murder? Penelope started the investigation of this case, many pages opened related to High society secrets, a dysfunctional family, and financial secrets. Meanwhile, Thom Lund was also investigating the Suicide murder. will both be able to solve the cases?

I found this read fast-paced. The narration is expressive, making it easy to imagine every scene and feel the emotions of the characters. Overall, it is an action-packed read with turns and twists.

I am looking forward to the next book of this series.
