Murder at the Met by E.W. Cooper
4.0
In return for an ARC from #netgalley here is my review of Murder at the Met by E. W. Cooper.
The story picks up in November 1928 after the events of The Jade Tiger. Penelope is invited by her cousin, Mary to a meeting of the Hudson Valley Operatic Society. There she meets Patsy Galton, the hostess and Ivy and Tulip Warwick, and their overbearing mother, Violet. Penelope is hoping to find students she can teach.
Meanwhile, Lund is asked to investigate the drowning death of a woman in the summer of 1927 out on Long Island. Penelope and Lund meet after both are gifted tickets to the opera at the Metropolitan Opera House. There is a page that describes the minutes right before the performance starts and Cooper does such a great job of describing the sounds and the feelings that I could picture myself in a theater waiting for the curtain to rise.
A dead body is found on the stairs and it is Roger Warwick, Violet's husband. And then Tulip is found in the bathroom, poisoned but alive, barely.
Lund investigates the drowning death of Coralee and Penelope takes it upon herself to help Ivy and Tulip.
A fun cozy mystery - just enough red herrings and enough action to keep me turning the pages. Looking forward to more in the series.
