After the events of the last book, Emma and Sam decided to start a detective agency, and their first case is a doozy. I found the parallel investigations of the police and the detective agency to be a little repetitive, but I liked the story otherwise. I‘d thought it was the last in the series, but Goodreads tells me there‘s at least one more. I‘m glad, because this one opens up some interesting threads for the main characters. #serieslove2024

This is the 6th book in the Brighton Mysteries. It takes place in 1965 and gives a good peek at the UK in the 60's. Emma Holmes has started her new Detective Agency and Sam Collins is her partner. Bert Billington, theatre impresario has been poisoned and his wife, Verity, is a suspect. She hires Emma's agency and secrets from the old music hall days abound.
pickThe latest installment from the Brighton Mysteries, again a murder to do with the entertainment world. This time see Emma and Sam who have set up their own private detective agency also investigating along side the police. It's a good story, the characters are all really interesting and had no idea who the killer was. I still have books 2 and 4 to read.
Sunday afternoon, thought Verity Malone, was a blameless time of day.
