Cold-Blooded Myrtle (Myrtle Hardcastle Mystery 3)
Cold-Blooded Myrtle (Myrtle Hardcastle Mystery 3) | Elizabeth C. Bunce
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
An Edgar Award-nominated series Twelve-year-old Young Lady of Quality and Victorian amateur detective Myrtle Hardcastle returns, and now she's on the trail of a serial killer in her hometown of Swinburne. When Mr. Leighton, proprietor of Leighton's Mercantile, is found dead on the evening his annual Christmas shop display is to be unveiled, it's clear a killer had revenge in mind. But who would want to kill the local dry-goods merchant? Perhaps someone who remembers the unresolved, long-ago scandal that occurred when he was a professor and archaeologist. When the killer continues to strike, each time manipulating the figures in the display to foretell the crime, Myrtle finds herself racing to uncover the long-buried facts of a historical scandal--and the motivations of a modern murderer.

Myrtle‘s best investigation to date. I loved learning more about Myrtle‘s mum and can we talk about the cover? Miss Judson!!

This book/series is written for middle grade readers but there is plenty to like here for readers of all ages. Myrtle Hardcastle is a delightful character, her governess & crime solving partner equally so. The setting is wonderful, the mystery satisfying & the asides about everything from “toccata & fugue” to a “dram” & more are super fun. I‘ll definitely read the other books in the series & happily recommend it to young readers. On sale 10/5/21.
