An Excellent Thing in a Woman | Allison Montclair
1 post | 1 read
The owners of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau are back, and more determined than ever to bring love matches to the residents of Post-WWII London . . . so something as trivial as a murder investigation isn't going to stop them! London, 1947. Spirited Miss Iris Sparks and ever-practical Mrs Gwendolyn Bainbridge are called to action when Gwen's beau Salvatore 'Sally' Danielli is accused of murder! Sally has taken a job at the BBC studios at Alexandra Palace, but when the beautiful Miss JeanneMarie Duplessis - one of the Parisian performers over for a new variety show - is found dead in the old theatre, a number of inconvenient coincidences make him Suspect No:1. Just days earlier, Miss Duplessis had arrived at The Right Sort, desperately looking for a husband - any husband - to avoid having to return to Paris. As the plot thickens, Iris is pulled back into the clandestine circles she moved in during the war and it soon becomes apparent that to clear Sally's name, she and Gwen would need to go on the hunt for a killer once more! Those who enjoy reading Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mysteries and Dorothy Sayers will adore this warm and witty historical mystery!

Book 6 in this series. Still good! It starts a couple months after the last book. What happened at the beginning is going to be a spoiler if you haven‘t read the last book.

It almost seemed like the author wrote a story in between the 2 books (though I found nothing saying she did). Some things felt abrupt like I missed something. And a situation was described that I don‘t remember from the last book, so it must have happened off page…

Aims42 I have this on my TBR pile to read. I‘m so used to the books coming out in the summer that I can‘t wrap my head around reading it now 😆 Also, kinda bummed the cover art is different 🫤 4d
