Enjoy Murder At Elm House (Miss Underhay Mysteries #6) Depicted By Helena Dixon Listed As Softcover

a big fan of this series, and numberdoesn't disappoint,

Kitty's grandmother's friend, Mrs Craven, is in a convalescent home after a recent operation, and as the residents and staff start to die one by one she calls upon Kitty and her beau, Matthew Bryant, to investigate.
As they delve deeper, they uncover things that are much closer to home than they could have imagined.
How can the man suspected of killing her mother, still on the run and evading police capture along with his sister, be involved And is Kitty's own life at risk

Having read all of the books I'm enjoying the developing arc of the background story of Kitty's past, as well as the tasty murders in each of the books.
Slightly darker in tone than other similar series around at the moment, and all the better for that, I definitely recommend this series to fans of the classic crime mystery.

Witty and wonderful. Loved this engaging mystery. This was a great read that contained all the elements I look for in a story it was absorbing, transporting, completely and utterly addictive.
Highly recommend this oneStars

This is the sixth book in the Miss Underhay series by Helena Dixon,

All the action in this new Kitty Underhay book centers around some hinky stuff occurring at a nursing home and Kitty gets targeted as a result of her innocent snooping.
This book was fun and sweet just like all the books in this series are, In fact there are some interesting scenes where Kitty gets driving lessons in order to be more independent and not have all the males around her chauffeur her around everywhere.
Kitty just took it all in stride even when she has an unfortunate accident that sends her new shiny red car into the shop.


Lots of exciting aspects of this book give the plot a jolt of fun, The mystery is spot on and the relationships are what make this book so good, Just an exciting read which once again is a winner in my book,

One little niggle, though, I was hoping for more of a connection between Kitty and Matt but I almost felt like they lost some ground with each other in some way.
They get along well but I didnt feel like their relationship moved forward, Other than that, it is great stuff,

If you love a good historical cozy mystery, definitely check this one out, Great new must read series for sure!

I received this as an ARC Advanced Reader Copy in return for an honest review.
I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title, Opinions are completely my own, This is the fourth entry in the authors Miss Underhay mysteries, set inand featuring Kitty Underhay, who manages her grandmothers hotel in Dartmouth.
The book opens with Kitty still pursuing the overarching mystery of the series, the disappearance of her mother years earlier.
Kitty is now getting threatening notes warning her to back off from the investigation,

But as usual, theres a new, standalone mystery in this book as well, this time involving an annoying friend of Kittys grandmother.
Mrs. Craven has pestered Kitty and her beau and coinvestigator Matt in their previous investigations, This time Mrs. Craven is recovering from an operation in a nursing home and consults with Kitty and Matt about something shes discovered there.
She believes there are murders happening in the nursing home,

The author creates a real atmosphere of overriding danger, Even on seemingly harmless outings for tea or to the cinema, if feels as if something bad might happen.
I soon began to worry about the safety of the residents and staff at the nursing home well, not all of the staff, because some seemed very suspicious.


One of the things Ive enjoyed about this series is that while each book contains a new mystery, theres also continuity and development from the previous book.
It may seem trivial but as this book begins we learn that Matt has recently gifted her with a red sports car, and Kitty is getting ready for her first lesson with a local man.
Why does this matter Matt has been slowly very slowly adjusting to Kittys need for independence, and her need to continue investigating.
When Kitty expressed an interest in driving in the last book, Matts initial reaction was to reassure Kitty that he could take her anywhere on his motorcycle, or that there was always a local taxi.


We also see some development in other characters in the series, Alice, Kittys sometime personal maid may soon have a beau of her own, as might Mrs, Craven! We also get to meet Alices younger sister Dolly, who is very bright, Dolly and Alice prove to be fun, brave, smart companions to Kitty on several occasions, I hope we get to see more of Dolly and Alice in future entries in the series.


Overall, I enjoyed Kittys latest adventures, and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
I would give this a B, so four here,

BLOG TOUR REVIEW

for 'Murder At Elm House' by Helena Dixon,

Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Helena Dixon, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous

Publication dateth June.


This is the second book I have read by this author, It is also the sixth book in the 'Miss Underhay' series but can be read as a standalone.
I have previously read 'Murder On The Dance Floor' which I would highly recommend,

I was originally drawn to this book by its gorgeous eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis and title.
The synopsis stated that this book is 'Perfect for fans of fans of Agatha Christie, T, E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss. ' I am a huge fan of Agatha Christie so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement.
I am also a huge fan of Vanessa and if this is as good as 'Murder On The Dance Floor' it is sure to be a good read.
I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture, I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed, Hopefully this won't be the first, . . Watch this space! Written before I started reading the book,

This novel consists of a newsclip andchapters, The chapters are short to medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed.
. . OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!


This book is based in Devon, UK.
I always enjoy when books are set in the UK as I'm from Wales and have sometimes visited areas mentioned in the book.
This makes it easier to picture where the scenes are set at times, I have in fact visited Devon on many occasions including this

year so am looking forward to possibly recognising name places.


This book is written in third person perspective and the main protagonists are Kitty Underhay and Captain Matthew Bryant.
I enjoy books written in third person with several protagonists as it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters.


This book was very well written and I do believe some research went into it as everything linked correctly in with the era it was set in.
It is a real bug bear for me when I read a historical novel and the author hasn't done their research and gets basic information mixed up so well done Helena!! It was very well written and I found the synopsis and the cover fitted the storyline perfectly, The descriptions were great and it really felt as if I was in the story.


The storyline was very interesting and quite fast paced, There was the main storyline based on the deaths at Elm House but you also had the side storyline of the search for Ezekiel.
I really enjoyed that it was set in the past and the storyline really suited that, It really is a nice cozy mystery that will keep you guessing throughout, At no point did I suspect who was doing what or why so a huge well done there Helena!!! I have read many a mystery and find that I am working out the killer/perp quicker every time and there's nothing worse than working out who did what when your need even half way through a book.
Not only is this quite a suspense and action filled mystery but there was just the right amount of quirkiness, laughter and romance to give it a nice mix!!! A fun, addictive, unputdownable cozy crime mystery.


I am really invested in the characters and really enjoyed Kitty and her fantastic and quirky personality!!! In fact all of the characters had their own individual personalities which worked really well with each other.
The only fault I did find is that sometimes the characters first names were used and at other times their surnames, as there are quite a few characters this did cause me some confusion at times.
I especially enjoyed getting to know Matt, Alice and Dolly more, However, I am looking forward to meeting them all again in the next 'episode' of Miss Underhay's adventures which I'm sure will be just as exciting as this one!!

Overall a perfect mix of mystery, crime, romance, laughter and quirkiness which kept me turning the pages late at night!!


Genres covered in this novel include Historical, Cozy Mystery, Murder Mystery and Crime among others.


I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as anyone looking for a nice easy mystery to read while curled up in front of the fire.



pages.

This book is just,to purchase on kindle via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!

Rated/I LOVED it on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on overFacebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
