What a fun book! Kitty decides to investigate a murder that involves her brother. Kitty is smart, confident and feisty! I thought it was a good mystery, it kept me engrossed to the very end. I can’t wait to see what Kitty gets into next.
I really enjoyed this book
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy

Ned and his sister Kitty Worthington are returning to London on the Golden Arrow train. Travelling in a first class carriage but soon there will be a death. Fortunately Detective Inspector Robert Crawford is on the train to investigate. With a belief in her sense of entitlement Kitty decides to find the guilty party herself when suspicion falls on her brother.
Although an enjoyable story there was not enough of a mystery for me, and I would have preferred the story from the point of view of the Inspector, who seemed a much more interesting and likeable character.

What a fun read! Perfect escape reading with lots of laughs and misdirection. The family is wealthy but they all get along and are truly nice people for the time. None of the adult children are married, but one daughter is at university, the son is in business with the father, Kitty has been through finishing school and is enjoying the social aspects without looking for a marriage contract, and everyone takes care with the mother who tries hard to do the right thing despite never having gotten over the death of the other daughter who died of the influenza. Mother, brother, and Kitty travel to and from Paris by boat and train where they meet or renew with some interesting characters and one is murdered on the way back. There is an interesting but stern DI from Scotland Yard also on the train who takes over and seems to have brother in his sights. Let Kitty's sleuthing begin! Great light read!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Hearts Afire Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!

Historical mysteries are some times hard to relate to, but I found myself thoroughly entertained by the characters and the plot line. I will most definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this author. I received an e-book from NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.
